Mission Statement
St. Sebastian's Faith Formation Program strives to serve the parish
needs of Catholic Christian formation and spiritual development of its
members. We recognize that families are the primary educators and
our goal is to assist them. This includes the teaching of Catholic
doctrine, Sacramental catechesis, community living and participation in
Christian service. By word and example we proclaim the Gospel and
our commitment to the Catholic Church.
Faith Formation Classes
Faith Formation Classes are offered for children in grades 1 - 8.
Classes take place on Mondays from 5:25 to 7:00 p.m. As part
of their sessions all grades attend the 6:30 p.m. Children's Mass with
Fr. Jeff and students are dismissed from church at the end of Mass.
(approximately 7:00 p.m.) The session usually goes from September
through May. If your family cannot attend at these class times please
contact the director to discuss individual arrangements.

CYO Sports & Religious Formation
Our parish policy for CYO eligibility is that a child has Religious
Formation through a Catholic school, parish after school program, or
approved home study. If you plan to have your child participate in
any St. Sebastian CYO sport and they do not attend a Catholic school,
now is the time to register for our Faith Formation program.
Sacrament Preparation
Sacrament preparation for
First Eucharist and
Confirmation are two year programs. For First Eucharist
preparation your child must attend 1st and 2nd grade Faith Formation in
either the school or the after school program. For Confirmation
preparation your child must attend 7th and 8th grade Faith Formation in
either the school or the after school program.
Adult Confirmation
If you are a baptized practicing Catholic, 18 or older, who has
received Eucharist but not been Confirmed, please contact the Faith
Formation Office for information.
