Things are looking a little different these days, so in light of the challenges we are facing regarding the dos and don’ts of our current state of affairs and following the directives from the archdiocese, we decided to restructure our Faith Formation classes. To allow adequate time to properly clean before and after class, there will be only ONE session on Wednesday evenings from, 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. We planned this time for it to be late enough to give families a chance to eat and do homework before class and early enough to get home at a reasonable hour. Please take note that the Mass time on Wednesday evening will move from its current time of 6:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to accommodate the new class schedule. The new Wednesday evening Mass time will begin on September 2, 2020.
Thank you for your prayers and cooperation regarding these changes. Your prompt registration will allow us to plan more effectively for the fall. Please contact Brittany with any questions regarding registration or payment.
God bless you,

Sacramental Preparation:
First Reconciliation/Communion
Students can begin preparation in 2nd grade and up. Children must be registered in either Faith Formation or a Catholic School as they prepare for these Sacraments. Use the attached registration form to enroll them in Faith Formation. You will be mailed additional information regarding the specifics in the fall. Questions contact Stefanie Gazich at sgazich@churchofstpiusx.org.
Confirmation
Students are eligible to begin the Confirmation preparation program when they are entering grades 7-10. They will receive their Confirmation during the fall of their 9-12 grade year accordingly.
There is a parent orientation meeting on August 16th from 4:30 - 6:00pm.
Any parents who are interested in hearing more about the program changes are welcome and encouraged to attend. Parents who have a student 8th grade or above and who met the pre-requiste last year are REQUIRED to attend (you should have received a letter in the mail).
