Children’s Faith Formation – Religious Education

Faith Formation Contact:
Tricia Kull (585) 265-4750 or tricia.kull@dor.org

We offer a variety of Faith Formation (Religious Education) options for your family. All programs are designed to invite you and your child to find God every day in relevant and relatable ways. In addition, parish-wide “Family Events” are offered throughout the year to encourage participation in our parish community, foster service to others, help us learn about the liturgy, and engage deeper in our relationship with Christ as we grow in our faith.

SUNDAY CLASSROOM PROGRAM

(Grades 1-7)
Children will attend weekly Faith Formation sessions with their peers exploring and experiencing their faith with the guidance of a catechist. Classes meet on Sundays between our two Masses from 9:30am until 10:20am, allowing your family to attend Mass either before or after class.

This option is best for children who learn well in a group setting.

FAMILY FAITH PROGRAM

(Grades K-7)
An intergenerational program that gives parents all the tools and support YOU need to explore and live out your faith at home. All families come together once per month in-person to dive deeper into the weekly work completed at home and participate in an interactive hands-on lesson. During the rest of the month, weekly family lesson options will be emailed to you, from which you choose one to do together.

This option is best for families who value flexibility, want to involve a grandparent or other loved one, and/or who enjoy or want to try learning, praying, and living the faith together.

CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD

(Ages 4-10)
This special opportunity is offered Sunday mornings during our 10:30am Mass, September through June, for our parish children in ages 4-10. This program was developed to give younger children a chance to listen and pray at their level of understanding. Children are dismissed from the church and go with leaders to have the scriptures read and explained to them in an enjoyable and interactive environment. Parents are always welcome to attend with their children. Registration is not required for this program.
