Religious Ed (CAFFE) (K-8th Grade)

What is Religious Ed (CAFFE)?

Our Catholic Family Formation and Evangelization (CaFFE) program strives to share the love of God our Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It is for children in K-8th Grades who attend a school where formation in the Catholic faith is not a regular part of the curriculum. We have two options for families to choose:

 

CAFFE Standard

CAFFEE Standard is a weekly, in-person classroom platform that utilizes the Faith and Life series. Your child will be assigned to a grade level classroom that is led by one of our weekly CaFFE teachers. This option is for those of you who believe your child needs a bit more structure and likes the weekly scheduled commitment.

The 7th Grade students will be receiving separate study materials for preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. This is a biweekly arrangement. These students will attend 6:00 P.M. Mass and then have dinner and class in the Oratory.

 

Family Program

This is a family-centered formation program that requires the leadership and participation of parents to be successful. Families will be working together on a monthly theme. Parents are REQUIRED to attend a once-a-month Theology meeting in-person where parents will be instructed on how to lead the at home lessons. Please see calendar below for Family Program Weeks.

The 7th Grade students will be receiving separate study materials for preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation in our biweekly, in-person classes.

Do you think your child is behind on receiving the Sacraments?

If your child is in need of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation) and are older than the regular times for the Sacraments (Baptism – prior to age 7, Eucharist – 2nd grade, Confirmation 8th grade) we will develop an individual sacrament preparation plan for your son/daughter. This may involve enrollment in our regular religious education classes plus additional sacrament-focused instruction. Each child is unique and may require more or less preparation to be fully prepared. Please contact Mark Griswold if this applies to your child.
