NOTES to help parents on FORMED.org: 

• As long as our church parish continues to pay for the parish subscription to FORMED.org, access to most of its Catholic resources will be free to our parishioners. (Some associated titles are for rent/purchase.) Parents and/or children may find other videos, talks, eBooks, documentaries, and/or movies about the saints that interest them! 
• Visit www.formed.org and use our zip code to find the name and address of our church parish.  After entering your name and email address to create a simple profile, you may have to check your email for a link to finish the “sign in” process for the first couple of viewings, but at some point, clicking on the “sign in” button should immediately display a “Start Watching” button

VIDEOS for PARENTS & STUDENTS

• Video on Eucharistic Miracles  - This is a short video on Eucharistic Miracles to help the children understand that the Blessed Sacrament (the Body of Christ) truly is the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. 
• Video on the the Miracle at Every Mass - Every Sunday, we get to witness a miracle. Sometimes it can be difficult to wrap our minds and hearts around this fact. This video gives us a special, close-up look at the Eucharistic miracle at every Mass. 
• Video on making a good confession It can feel scary to go to Confession, but really, we go to the Sacrament of Confession because God loves us so much that he wants us to remove all the sins that keep us from Him. When we go to Confession, we say "I love you, Jesus, will you forgive me of my sins?" In this session, kids will learn how to make a good Confession, and that God always forgives us and gives us grace to be better in this sacrament.

We use the Blessed series from Dynamic Catholic. To access the videos please click the image below.

NOTE 1:  It is not unusual for an older child to enroll in the Sacramental preparation program for First Holy Confession and First Holy Communion. However, candidates who desire to receive the Sacraments must also attend age-appropriate Religious Education classes or complete home study packets under the guidance of parents. Please call the Church Parish Office (937-6888) if you have any questions regarding our Sacramental programs and/or Religious Education programs.

NOTE 2:  In all situations below, some home study will be required in order to memorize traditional prayers and Sacred Teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.  

NOTE 3:  Regardless of a candidate's age, he/she should abide by the dress code for the administration of the Sacraments of Confession and Communion set forth by our pastor.  

Reminder:  Candidates who desire to receive the Sacraments must also enroll in age-appropriate Religious Education classes.
