Children's Faith Formation

Children's Faith Formation Mission

The mission for Children's Faith Formation at Sacred Heart Parish is to assist parents in their primary responsibility as educators in the faith. This is accomplished by journeying with their children as they develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through learning about Jesus with classroom discussions, exploration of Scripture, rich multimedia content, and fun games and crafts. 

Faith Formation Classes

Faith Formation classes for children (grades Kindergarten-7) are held weekly, September 8, 2024 through April 27, 2025 on Sundays from 10:10-11:25 am. Parents are encouraged to participate in Adult Faith Formation opportunities throughout the week, especially on Sunday, in order to grow together as a family in the faith. 

For questions or inquiries about Sacred Heart Parish's Children’s Faith Formation program, please contact our Faith Formation Director at 719-633-8711 x105 or email formationdirector@sacredheartcos.org.

Sacramental Preparation

Reconciliation & First Holy Communion

Children wishing to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in the second grade should enroll in Sacramental preparation classes.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated in a communal service in late January or early February. First Eucharist is celebrated during the Easter season. No more than 3 absences per year are allowed.
