As we revise our children and youth formation programs, we want to hear your insights, feedback, and thoughts.
Join us as we work to create programming for our All Saints families.
Family Formation is a collaboration between All Saints Catholic Church and St. Matthew's Catholic Church.
Family Formation is the name of our faith-based education program for children in grades K–5 and their parents. This may be done as a family to grow spiritually and learn more about the Catholic faith.
In addition to learning about a range of themes that support family religious life, parents will also learn about issues that relate to what their children are studying.
Lessons to be completed at home by parents and their children will make up the remaining portion of each month. The goal of this program is to support parents in fulfilling the church's mandate that they serve as the children's "first and foremost educators." Our goal is to support families as they deepen their connection with Christ and get a better understanding of the Catholic Faith.
10:00am to 11:00am in the All Saints Parish Social Hall.

Pre-Youth Ministry is a brand-new opportunity for children in grades 3-5 to participate in youth ministry-style events before entering middle school.
This allows students to not only learn content, but also to engage in relational ministry, which is not possible in a classroom setting.
Students will gather at St. Matthew from September to May for an hour of faith sharing, games, crafts, bonding, and, of course, food!
6:00pm to 7:00pm at St. Matthew's School.
In the basement beside Kern Hall.

Ablaze is a youth ministry program based off the "Road to Emmaus" passage. Why? Because this passage so clearly shows us how Jesus reveals himself relationally and sets our hearts, well, ablaze! Because Jesus chooses to be in intimate relationships with his disciples, Ablaze hopes to reflect that through its engaging witness talks, faith-filled small groups, and charismatic worship.
7:00pm to 8:30pm at St. Matthews Church. Open to students of any Parish or Religious affiliation.
Enter through the main sanctuary door.
Every Wednesday beginning in September and ending in May.

Children of All Saints and St. Matthew's Parish who have received the Sacrament of Baptism are eligible to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist in second grade.
Your children will be prepared to receive these gifts as a result of direct catechesis in the classroom or through Family Formation. The child must be enrolled in either program.
Parents are their children's first teachers of their faith. To assist parents, additional resources will be made available electronically to supplement catechism instruction at home.
Inside the Church at All Saints Parish at 1:00pm.
