If you have any questions about Faith Formation or Youth Ministry, please email Teresa.Dunn@dor.org or Amy.Corron@dor.org. Questions about Confirmation Prep can be emailed to Amy.Corron@dor.org.
Please note: Per Diocesan guidelines, those wishing to celebrate First Penance and First Eucharist this year must have been registered for and have participated in Faith Formation or be enrolled in Catholic school last year as well as for the entire current school year. Registered children should be at least age 7 and in grade 2. If your child meets those requirements, please read over the following options for classes and fill out the online registration form linked at the bottom of this page.
Note to St. Mary's School families: Sacramental Prep is done outside of the school curriculum. If you wish for your child to celebrate the Sacraments this year, please be sure to sign up for a prep class.
Registering for First Penance and First Eucharist Prep: If your child meets the Diocesan requirements (see the note above) to celebrate the Sacrament this year, please register online at https://stbenedictonline.org/registration-form-first-penance-and-first-eucharist. If you have any questions, please email Teresa.Dunn@dor.org or Amy.Corron@dor.org.
Catholic school students are not required to attend the in-person Confirmation Prep sessions or do the online learning portion (the Diocese counts their Religious Education program through school as more than sufficient), but will need to participate in community service (10 hours per year) and attend the 5 hour retreat (typically held in May at Notre Dame Retreat House -- the exact date and more information will be forthcoming).
Students are also welcome to participate in our Middle School Youth Group, if they wish, but that is not required. For more information about Middle School Youth Group, visit https://stbenedictonline.org/6-7-grade-youth-ministry.
The registration form for Youth Group is separate from Confirmation Prep, and can be accessed at https://stbenedictonline.org/registration-form-ff-ym.
