2026-2027 School Year Offerings

• Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW)

  • Begins September 13 at the Oakland Church. Designed for children 4-7 years old but all are welcome! During the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass each week, children will be dismissed to the lower level for children’s liturgy, lessons, and activities. Kids will return to their families in time for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. 

• Grades Pre-K through Kindergarten Faith Formation

• Grades 1-2 Faith Formation 

  • Includes preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion

• Grades 3-6 Faith Formation 

  • Includes preparation for Confirmation 

• Grades 7-12 Teen Faith Formation 

  • Will include preparation for Confirmation, if needed. 

  • Our goal for this class is to provide a group for our post-Confirmation teens where they can further their religious education experience in a fun and meaningful way. We want to help our teens grow their faith in an engaging way, and so they will also be asked for ideas and topics that they would like the group to explore.

• Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)

• • Will include preparation for any Sacraments requested. 

  • This is a 16-week class designed for adults wishing to become members of the Catholic Church. 

  • Learn more about OCIA here and invite others to contact us!
