New online ELEMENTARY SUMMER FAITH FORMATION
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
Dates: July 16-19 & 23-26
9am-12 noon
Summer Faith Formation is a rich and engaging two-week session for children entering grades 1-5 (fall 2018). Each day,
children rotate through modules consisting of: faith session, music & motion, craft and storytelling. The curriculum is in-
spired by the “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd”, a Montessori-based contemplative approach for the religious formation
of children. Themes presented are essential to our faith and meant to illuminate and nourish the child’s most vital spiritual
needs. When choosing this program, families are expected to have their children attend all eight days and participate in a
family outreach project, Advent or Lenten activity.
To register your child(ren), visit our website at: http://www.ctredeemer.org/we-form/education/1st-through-5th-
grade/. Complete the form and return to the office with payment by May 18. A required parent meeting will take place
during the first session from 9-10am. Please prayerfully consider being part of our catechist/coordinator team. Questions,
call 248-391-4074 ext., 14 or email Gabriela @ [email protected].
