Faith Formation Registration

Dear Faith Formation Families,

We hope you're enjoying Summer Break; finding time for family, fun and renewal!

ONLINE Registration is NOW Open for 2024-25 Faith Formation classes and Sacramental Preparation!

We're busy preparing for the return of the Faith Formation (FF) programs for our children from preschool through 12th grade!

Karen Remy-Anderson will be taking the lead with our PK-4th program this year! Welcome to Karen! She comes to us with an abundance of experience and professional training in Education. Karen’s degrees/experience include Special Needs education, Principal/Administration, and Human Resources. She has a deep faith in Jesus and loves the Catholic tradition in celebrating that faith!

Peter Guthrie is looking forward to year two as a full-time Youth Minister. He has gained some great relationships, become more familiar with models of Youth Ministry, and looks forward to adding a Retreat component at each level of formation this year! He will bring back grade specific learning in Middle School Youth Group.

Joan Williamson is celebrating 40 years in Catholic Faith Formation work this year. Her journey began in the Seattle Archdiocese; took her around the east coast (Canada & US), South, and Midwest with NET ministries; spent 10+ years in St. Paul Archdiocese, and the last 24 years back in Seattle! She is very excited for the new boxes/lenses that Partners in the Gospel will bring as she continues to serve in the Great Commission of Jesus Christ!

Faith Formation Program: Begins September 29th (details and calendars coming soon).
PK-4th grades meet Sundays from 10:15-11:15am in the McMullen Center/classrooms

Sacramental Preparation – 1st Reconciliation, 1st Eucharist, and Confirmation:
For Sacramental preparation, we prepare children over a two-year period, making the first year a foundational, comprehensive, and community building year, with the second year having specific Sacramental formation, after which the Sacraments will be celebrated! If your child is in their second year of the faith formation program (or was active in another parish program last year and you can provide a letter of verification) and you desire sacramental preparation, make sure to fill out the Sacramental section of the registration.

Registration Options:
- Online Registration:

- In-Person: Prefer to sign-up in person? Pick up a form from the office for completion and payment.

If you need assistance with the fees, please call Joan Williamson at 253-630-0701 x109. Know that there are scholarships available, or you can make payments throughout the year as you are able. Please never let money prevent you from participating in Faith Formation.

We are looking forward to working with you as we continue the journey of being formed in our Catholic faith, celebrating our Sacramental life at weekly mass, and living our faith out loud through our actions.
