Family Formation

Family Formation is a new program at Sacred Heart. Additional program details can be found by selecting one of the links on the left-hand side of this page.
   Family Formation (formerly CFF) sessions are held on one Wednesday each month from 6:30-7:45 pm from August until May. Once Wednesday each month, one parent from each family will attend a session held in the parish center or the church. The student sessions are held at Sacred Heart School at the same time. Parents and students will cover the same material during this session. You will find a calendar link on the left-hand side of this page.
   After the initial monthly session, sometime during the next three weeks, each family will be provided at-home family lessons. Parents will receive the at-home lessons at the Family Formation monthly session.
   Our program begins in kindergarten and continues each year through 6th grade. Students preparing for First Eucharist and First Reconciliation will attend the monthly Family Formation session and will attend a special class to learn about the sacraments. Supplemental materials are provided for the sacraments.
