Our parish faith formation classes are for children in public schools grades 1-8 and special needs in partnership with parents, if needed.
Classes will be held on Sunday. We will attend the 10:15am Mass first and the classes will follow Mass. Children will be released after class from the school building in the schoolyard. We encourage you to attend Mass with your child.
Registration: You can mail in the form, drop it off at the rectory, or you can download it online and email it to faithformation122@aol.com
Confirmation is celebrated in the Spring. During the school year, there will be an additional four proximate preparation gatherings for the parent to attend with the child. Also a Confirmation retreat for the candidate and an interview with the priests.
RE-REGISTER AND REGISTER The Re-registration form was sent home with your child. If you choose you can re-register online. Late fee of $25.00 per child as of August 1
For new registrants, please contact the Faith Formation Office during business hours to set up an appointment at 718-769-6311. You will need your child’s birth certificate and baptism certificate (if your child has received the sacrament of Baptism) and we will register your child for September classes.
We also have a Little Catholics program for children ages 4-5 (must be potty trained.) Faith Formation is for all God’s children. If your child has special needs please let us know during registration so we can make the necessary arrangements for your child.
The Religious Education program of St. Mark Parish educates our young people about the message of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Church. Over the course of eight years, students join in the Mass on Sunday and celebrate the sacraments. They should come to understand religion is not another subject but rather a way of life, so they may experience a personal relationship with God. It is our hope that this program, with the help of parents and families, will enable our children to develop and grow into active members of the Catholic faith.
The continuing faith formation of your child is very important. Once your child receives the Sacrament of First Holy Communion does not mean it is the end of their faith training. After First Holy Communion, you should enroll your child in the following years of religious education and continue until they receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in the 8th year.
