Religious Education
At St. Francis of Assisi Parish, our Faith Formation classes (Religious Education) basically follow the public school year. Registration for youth ages Kindergarten through 12th grade occurs mid-September with classes starting in October. The school year concludes in May. The Adult Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) classes run from September through May.
The sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion take place in second grade, and Confirmation preparation can begin as early as 6th grade.
We Are Looking For Volunteers
We have opportunities for Parishioners to help support our youth in strengthening their relationship with God and in gaining a deeper understanding of our faith.

We are looking for 2 volunteers that can assist the lead teacher in our 3rd – 5th grade class and our Confirmation Class.
Substitute
We are in need of someone who is available to be present on Sundays and step into any of the classes needed to help the lead teachers and assist if someone cannot make it to teach.

OCIA Child Care
We have many couples with children hoping to participate in OCIA this year. We are in need of adults who can help watch children so that their parents can attend the meeting. You do not need to commit to all OCIA sessions. Even if you can only step in for one day or one month that would be amazing.
March 7 through April 25 – Sundays 10:30 am – 11:30 am
Substitute Middle School Teacher
We are in need of someone interested in stepping in to help teach the Middle School Religious Education class for the months of March and April.
