In our Kindergarten classes, we use the Word of Life  program by Ignatius Press and Augustine Institute. We chose this dynamic program because it is a strongly Scripture-based curriculum. In addition to helping students learn the Faith through Scripture, the Word of Life series actively teaches students different ways to pray with Scripture, where they come to know and love God.

In our 1st & 3rd-5th Grade classes, we use Alive in Christ from Our Sunday Visitor. We chose this program as it helps the children better understand, grow in and live in their faith. This program is grounded in the values of integrity and promotes a distinctly Catholic identity. 

In our 2nd Grade classes, we use Signs of Grace by Augustine Institute to prepare our students to receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. This comprehensive sacramental preparation program is designed for children with a thorough family faith formation component. It includes fun activities, engaging student guides and compelling stories that help children understand intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally that the Sacraments are a real encounter with Jesus Christ.

The sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are usually received at the end of the 2nd grade year, after 2 years of formation classes (1st and 2nd grade). Please contact our office for older students who would like to prepare for these sacraments.
