Our Elementary Faith Formation Program is a vibrant beginning to your child's lifelong journey of faith. Each year we seek to form and build onto a solid foundation of faith that will support your child as he or she grows to know, love and serve Jesus. We are called to partner together as we continually seek to teach, inspire, and encourage your children to develop a lifelong love of Jesus.
We use the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies program, which combines doctrinal catechesis and liturgical life of the church. I am excited to walk with you in your faith journey! This fall you will an option of returning in person or learning at home with access to online resources. I am looking forward to a wonderful faith filled year!

Welcome to Whole Family Catechesis here at St. Bernadette Catholic Church!
For our 2023-2024 season we will have all of our gatherings on campus with an available home-study option if you prefer.
Whole Family Catechesis is the method of Faith Formation practiced here at St. Bernadette Catholic Church. We believe that the family is the primary context in which faith formation takes place. With Whole Family Catechesis as our model, we at St. Bernadette will support you and your family in your journey of faith formation.

We welcome adults and teens to share their faith with our children. Their love of children is an essential ingredient to the success of our ministry! (Anyone aged 18 and over will need to complete the Safe Haven program (online) and have a criminal background check.)

Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them;
for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
