FAMILY FAITH FORMATION

- 2025-2026 Family Faith Formation (Religious Education)
  
  This year, St. Mary’s in Bloomington, St. Clement in Lancaster, and Ss. Andrew-Thomas and St. Charles will host religious education nights once a month. The evening will begin at 6 pm - 6:30 pm with a meal. Then, from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm, Fr. Mark will give a lesson to parents, Fr. Sudhakar will teach 2nd grade for first reconciliation/first holy communion, and Fr. Steve will teach 7th and 8th graders. The other grade levels will be taught by catechists. This style of religious education is called “Family Faith Formation,” and the goal is to teach both adults and children, with Fr. Mark equipping parents to hand on the faith to their children at home. Technically, the “Family Faith Formation” curriculum is intended for grades K-6, and Fr. Steve will be teaching a different curriculum to the 7th and 8th graders.
