Saint Anne's Faith Formation Program fosters the spiritual, emotional and personal growth

of families and children in our Parish community. The program’s purpose is to provide a

supportive, nurturing environment where young people and their parents can grow in

their relationship with Jesus Christ. The program supports parents as the primary

educators of their children in the faith. The focus of the program is three-fold: instruction

in the faith, practice of the faith through liturgies, and service.

Opportunities for students and parents to worship together are provided through Class

Masses and encouragement of attendance at Sunday and Holy Day Masses. Age appropriate

service initiatives are introduced to classes in the earlier grades. The older students are

encouraged to look around their communities and see and fill needs, thus developing a

life-long attitude of giving. Instruction is provided by volunteer catechists who share their

faith with the children. Making use of texts are approved by the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

Classes for children in grades 1 through 8 are provided. Students in grades 1 through 6

may presently register for a class of one hour on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday afternoons

(4 to 5:00 PM).  Seventh and eighth grade students meet on Wednesday evenings from

7 to 8:00 PM approximately twice a month, and also for specially scheduled presentations.

A calendar is provided in advance to assist parents in planning.
