FAITH FORMATION

Faith formation or Religious Education, aims to deepen our children’s, youth, and adult contact with Jesus Christ by educational and enrichment opportunities. Designed to teach the faith as well as touch the heart, our programs help our people live and experience a more Christ-centered life through the worthy reception of the sacraments of the Catholic Church. In addition to other seasonal formation programs hosted at St. Jude, we offer two primary programs for sacramental formation:

Elementary and Youth Christian Formation

Our Religious Ed classes, kindergarten–10th grade, meet Sunday from 9:30-10:45.

Preparation and celebration of first sacraments (Reconciliation and Communion) customarily occurs in the 2nd grade and includes learning in the classroom at church as well as at home with the parents. The Sacrament of Confirmation is normally received in the 10th grade.
