Faith Formation

Important Changes to the 2025-26 Faith Formation program to review: 

  • The Gospel Weeklies program will continue to be the primary curriculum for all non-sacramental preparation students.  The benefits of this program is that the students are exposed to a direct correlation connecting the Weekly Gospel to everyday life.

  • Grades K, 1, 3, 4,5 will have In-person Gospel Weeklies classes in a 14 week schedule.  The In person class schedule is available after the 8:30am Sunday Mass only.

  •  Class Time is 9:25-10:25am.

  • Gospel Weeklies At-home lessons will also continue to be required and led by parents and/or other family members on the non-in-class sessions.
  • 2025-26 Gospel Weeklies Class Schedule
  • Grade 6 has been shifted to the Sacramental Preparation Class schedule as a Pre-Confirmation year.  Grade 6 students are no longer required to complete the at-home Gospel Weeklies lessons.

  • Grade  2 (First Communion) and 6, 7, 8 and 9 (Confirmation) will attend an In-person class Sacramental Preparation program.  It is held on a separate 10 class Sunday schedule after the 8:30am Mass.  This schedule also includes (2) extended class sessions.  The 9th grade will partner with Grade 2 in our Buddy Program.  The Gospel Weeklies At-home kits will be required for Grade 2 only.  Grade 6-9  will not be required to complete the Gospel Weeklies lessons at -home.

  • 2025-26 Sacramental Preparation Class Schedule

  • Grade 8 & 9 are now required to sign in at Mass for Mass Attendance.  If the student does not attend Mass at St. Bernard, they should attend elsewhere and turn in a signed bulletin.
