Let’s Grow Your Family’s Faith

Faith Formation starts at home as a family and continues through a lifelong journey of learning. At St. Benedict, we aim to foster and support what you do at home in developing a love of Christ and His Church in your family. We supply faith formation options for all stages of life.

Faith Formation for Your Children

We are pleased to provide afternoon and evening classes designed to teach the Catholic Faith and produce good stewards and disciples of Christ, to nearly 700 students from Kindergarten to 12^th Grade. These classes include the preparation for two of the Sacraments of Initiation: First Holy Communion – Journey to First Communion (1^st-2^nd Grade) and Confirmation – Journey to Confirmation (currently 8^th -10^th grade). Students are required to attend ALL the preparation years in order to receive the sacraments, except for children who attend private catholic school during those years. Classes run September through April every year.

Our Archbishop has asked all Atlanta area parishes to begin transitioning the grade level for receiving the sacrament of Confirmation from 10th grade to 6th grade over the next five years. Increased parental involvement will be an essential part of this process, including participation in the saint project, service hours, and the retreat. We encourage all families to stay informed and engaged throughout the transition.

What does this mean to our Youth? As we move the year down each year, our youth will have the opportunity to be Confirmed, provided they have completed two years in faith formation, as well as all other Confirmation requirements set forth by our Pastor.

Registration for our 2026-2027 school year opened on Monday, April 27.
