RETURNING TO THE FAITH (Accelerated study for grades 4-8)

We welcome families in our Family and Children Faith Formation program at all ages and stages of life. Sometimes, this involves enrolling children into the program who have had gaps in their Faith Formation experiences or sacramental preparation. The goal of the accelerated program is to catch these students up in their faith studies so that they can prepare for sacraments as quickly and meaningfully as possible.

Entrance into the accelerated program is arranged through Family and Children Faith Formation Director Joan Kijek, after extensive dialogue with the parents, and in consultation with our pastoral team. If you would like your child to be considered a candidate for the accelerated program, you must make an appointment with Joan Kijek by calling (734) 981-6680.

Our Faith Formation program uses the textbook series Faith First. The Faith First website has a number of resources for parents, as well as an area for students to reinforce the lessons they have learned in the book. Check out the Kids Clubhouse for Grades K-3, the Kids Only Club for Grades 4-6, or the Teen Center for Grades 7-8. We also invite you to check out our resources for parents.
