Faith Formation
To all parents, grandparents and caregivers of the children of our parishes.
Our faith formation program is in full swing. However, our numbers are quite low. Starting with this new year, I respectfully ask that you consider sending your child to join us on Wednesday evenings at 6:30. We have a new curriculum this year that will help your child learn more about their faith. Our teachers are well informed and passionate about spreading the word of Christ. If the student needs any of the sacraments, they must be educated first. We will ensure that they are properly prepared. This one hour a week will not only educate but help to guide your child to make respectful, fair and moral decisions. Children of all faiths are welcome to come and learn about Jesus with us so feel free to invite their friends. Finally, please pray for our program and that more children will come to know Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him.
Sincerely and in God’s Love

Sacramental Preparation
Students in second grade will prepare to receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Students in grades 10 and 11 will prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Weekly Mass attendance is required for all Catholics. It is especially important for all children preparing for the Sacraments to attend weekly Mass with their family.
Adult Faith Formation
Parish missions and events hosted by our parish and/or the Diocese of Marquette are scheduled throughout the year and are usually advertised in our church bulletin, our website and our Facebook page.
Parents of our Faith Formation students are especially encouraged to participate in these programs.
RCIA (rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)
Contact the Parish Office for details: 906-524-6424.
Members of the parish community are always invited to attend. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the Catholic Faith and to update one’s understanding of Catholic beliefs.
General Information
We can always use more Faith Formation teachers. Please don’t hesitate to contact our office to volunteer.
Students who attend our Parish Faith Formation programs should strive to be known for their Christian courtesy. Respect for teachers, administrative staff, support staff, volunteers, visitors, and fellow students is essential for the learning environment.
Please also practice prayers at home and continue to use the materials we provided for “at home” religious education.
As part of our commitment to maintaining a Safe Environment Program, all parents must come to pick up their children in the basement of Sacred Heart.
