The New Directory for Catechesis identifies three areas of family catechesis: “in the family,” “with the family,” and “of the family.” (DC 227-231) These areas recognize that all members of the family are on a journey of faith and that “in and among families, the gospel message should always resound.”

K through 8th Grade Forming Faithful Families Keeping in mind that parents are the primary educators of their children when it comes to our Roman Catholic faith, we value your commitment and look forward to partnering with you. Because Mass is the greatest and richest form of catechesis, we will provide 12 dates for "Mass & Class" for children in Kindergarten through 8th grade on Sunday mornings. All families are strongly encouraged to attend 10 a.m. Mass. Kindergarten through 6th graders will have class immediately following Mass at Assumption School until 12 noon. Grades 7 & 8 will have class immediately following Mass in the Parish Center until 12:15. There will be three additional dates built into the calendar for Family Faith Formation sessions for all grades. Sacramental Prep for 2nd graders will have additional parent/child sessions built into their calendar of lessons.
We are asking each family to please pay a tuition fee of $200 for your first child, $35 for each additional child with a $270 maximum. There is an additional $75 fee for each 2nd grader to cover the cost of their Sacramental prep workbook, chalice, and banner.
