FAITH FORMATION REGISTRATION
Faith Formation Re-Registration information has been dis-tributed to families currently enrolled in the Sunday morning and Monday evening programs. If you have not received the re-registration materials for 2011-2012, please call Celeste Farrell, Director of Religious Education, at 201-641-3023 to have one mailed to you.

Family Fee: $125 (before July 1st); $150 (after July 1st)

If you are registering in our Religious Education program for the first time, you must be an active member of the St. Francis parish community. If you are not already registered in the parish, we will provide you with the proper forms. We must also have copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate for our records.
Please keep in mind that children must have 2 years of preparation before receiving the Sacraments. Sacrament Prep classes are available for those children who are past due for receiving Penance, First Communion and Confirmation.

Please note: Continuing religious education is required in order for our students to be fully prepared to receive their Sacraments. If a student lapses in yearly attendance, an ex-amination of acquired knowledge will be administered and the student will be placed according to the results.

This may result in a remedial year of instruction or the child being placed in a lower grade than the rest of their peers, so please be sure to register your child yearly until they receive their Confirmation.

If you are interested in being a Faith Formation teacher, substitute or teacher aide, please contact Celeste Farrell. There are only 28 classes throughout the academic year – won’t you please consider helping out? The Family Fee is waived for all teachers in the program.
