Faith Formation – General Info
Faith Formation Registration, 2011 – 2012
In order to save money on postage and additional copying for misplaced registration forms, we will not be sending registration forms home this year. Beginning June 15th, Faith Formation registration forms will be available outside of the Faith Formation Office or online below. As in previous years, registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to continuing space issues, new Faith Formation families must reside within Hickory or Granite Falls and be registered parishioners of St. Aloysius Church.

Our Faith Formation Program uses the “Finding God” series published by Loyola Press. Please visit www.loyolapress.com for additional information and family activities.
Catechists receive training through the diocesan catechist recognition program. All catechists are also required to have a background check and attend a 3 hour “Protecting God’s Children” Workshop. Those interested in sharing the faith with children are encouraged to inquire about being a catechist.
Tuition
The tuition for each child / youth is $60.00 for the year. Please plan to pay your tuition at the beginning of the year. No child is ever refused the opportunity to participate in St. Aloysius Faith Formation programs due to financial reasons. If you have a personal difficulty, please contact the Faith Formation Office. All calls are, of course, confidential. (Note there is a $125.00 cap for families that choose to use it.)
Schedule
Classes are held on Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 10:30 a.m. or Wednesday afternoons from 4:30 until 5:45 p.m. Our Junior High “Edge” Program meets from 6:45 until 8:15 on Wednesday evenings.
Children in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade need to be walked in. If you arrive before the Catechist is in the room please do not leave your child unattended. We ask that parents please be prompt in picking up their children. Our catechists are volunteers giving their time and talent to serve this ministry. It is only polite and fair that parents be prompt both coming and going.
Safety
For safety reasons we require that parents or a pre-designated adult pick up their children at the end of Faith Formation sessions for Kindergarten – 2nd grade. We ask that parents keep a close eye on their elementary school aged children, especially in the parking lots and outside the buildings.
