Forming your children at Home
This young age is the perfect time to start introducing them to the faith. This can be done in small ways like bringing them to the church during the week, prayer before meals, prayer in the morning or before bed. We have Adoration on Tuesday mornings after the 8 AM Mass Main Church and on the First Friday of the month.

The Roman Catholic Church teaches that Faith Formation is a lifelong process. The concept of lifelong learning invites each of us to continuously grow in our faith by learning and sharing with others in our community.
All children in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth are invited and welcome to join our Faith Formation program.
Faith Formation classes for PreK4 - 8th Grade meet on Sunday mornings
Families attend 9:30 Mass in English or 12:30 in Spanish
Children attend Faith Formation at 10:45-12:15
Through weekly classes, we celebrate the future of our Church in our faith by presenting the teachings of our religion.
Our Faith Formation curriculum follows the liturgical calendar and focuses on the Gospel. An emphasis is placed on using group and individual activities that respect different learning and teaching styles. There is a strong focus on different types of prayer: personal prayer and reflection, guided meditation and community prayer.
A number of large-group events, reinforcing the lessons, are scheduled throughout the program year.
Seventh grade classes are pre-Confirmation, and Eighth grade classes are Confirmation classes. At the end of Eighth grade Faith Formation program (either at St. Theresa or in Catholic School) and completion of Sacrament Preparation Program requirements, students will be Confirmed before the Parish.
Family Faith Events throughout the year provide an opportunity to learn together in the family unit and celebrate special times in our Liturgical Year.
Volunteer instructors and classroom aides undergo a background check and complete Safe Environment (SEP) training for all adults (18+).
To volunteer in the Elementary Faith Formation ministry or to enroll your child in this rich experience, please contact the Faith Formation Director, Mary Chapman at 352-683-2849 or e-mail her mary@saint-theresa.org -
