For the faith of baptism to unfold, it is important that our faith is nurtured so that it stays alive and grows.

Parents are recognized as having the primary responsibility for training their children in practicing their faith. (Gaudium et Spes #48.) At OLGH, we are delighted to partner with you and your child on this journey of faith!  

Children not attending a Catholic school are encouraged to attend our Faith Formation classes for Kindergarten through Grade 8.

Both grades will complete a bible study called Encounter: Experiencing God in the Everyday, it is an 8-week study with two supplemental lessons. Each lesson provides a video lesson and a student guide for discussion.  Pic and link below.

Winter 2022
Beginning in the new year the 7th graders will drop out as they enter into their Confirmation classes and Sacramental Prep.  So the second half of the year will only be sixth graders.  You will switch curriculums to use Christ in Us a Sadlier publication.

  Christ In Us, Parish Edition K-6 | Sadlier Religion

Please see their schedule in the "Documents" above.
