Kindergarten Faith Formation
We are excited to offer Kindergarten Faith Formation Classes once again this year! Kindergarten Classes will only be available during the Tuesday Session (6 pm – 7:15 pm) and the Wednesday Early Session (4:45 pm – 6 pm). The Family-based Home option is not available for Kindergarten.
Family-Based Faith Formation Registration
Attendance at Feed Your Faith Events is required as part of the Family-Based Curriculum. All Feed Your Faith events include dinner for the whole family. Because of the added expense of providing a family dinner, the fees for Home-Base Faith Formation are slightly higher than the fees for In-Person Faith Formation Classes. Registration for Family-Based is pending approval.

Please remember your registration is not complete until we have a copy of the baptism certificate on file and payment is processed.
SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION
Is your child ready for First Communion? Is your child ready for Confirmation?
Are you registered for Faith Formation classes? YOU NEED TO REGISTER FOR FAITH FORMATION FIRST! Then the information about sacramental preparation will follow.
Register for Faith Formation by August 2nd, and then we can walk together through the next steps for your child to receive their sacraments!
First Communion and First Reconciliation – Contact Frances Stadler at fstadler@oviedocatholic.org
Confirmation – Contact Shannon Zahn at szahn@oviedocatholic.org
Mass Offering Card
We are using these to reconnect our Faith Formation families to worship and engage more deeply in the Mass. Mass is worship, and worship has always involved sacrifice, in every culture and faith. We offer the best of ourselves to God in worship at Mass. Every Faith Formation Student preparing for a sacrament this year is required to complete a Mass Offering Card each week and submit it either at Mass or email it to Fran Stadler at fstadler@oviedocatholic.org. In-person students may also turn their cards into their catechists in class.
Children’s Faith Formation: Catechist, Assistants, Substitutes & Helpers
Please consider becoming a catechist or assistant and help our children on their faith journey.
“The catechist, then, is a Christian who is mindful of God, who is guided by the memory of God in his or her entire life and who is able to awaken that memory in the hearts of others.”- Pope Francis
Are you one of somebody’s “Five”? Are you open to making a difference in the life of a child? Studies show that while parents are the most important influence in a child’s life, every child needs 5 other adults in their lives to guide them along the way. There are many ways to do this – as a Catechist, an Assistant, a Substitute, or a Small Group Leader for our Faith Formation children.
Any adult can be a catechist, assistant catechist, or substitute. High school youth can be helpers in various capacities. He or she must be actively living the Catholic Faith, eager to learn more about it, and willing to share it!
If you would like to discern a role in Catechesis, Co-Catechesis, or Assistant, please contact: Frances Stadler at (407) 365-3231 x 105 or fstadler@oviedocatholic.org
