"Rooted" - A Family Formation Program

Families with students in grades K4-12  attend one session per month together. There is an additional session per month for students only. Please choose between a Sunday or Wednesday session. All classes will be held at Saint Frances Cabrini School. More details below...

• Family Sessions: Families will attend one Sunday or Wednesday at the beginning of each month. Students in grades K4-6 will have lessons in their classrooms. Parents will meet in the Multi-purpose room to listen to a talk given by one of our priests. Grades 7-12 will meet in the Multi-purpose room for the first half of Father’s talk, and then will proceed to classrooms for small group discussion. This model gives families an opportunity for faith formation together and individually. Childcare will be offered at these Sunday and Wednesday sessions for children under age four. (Registration is required. Contact Ann Hill: ahill@wbparishes.org)
  
  Session times are 9:00-10:15am on Sundays and 6:15-7:30pm on Wednesdays.  The day (Sunday or Wednesday) that you registered for will be the day that you need to attend. 

• Student-Only Sessions: New this fall, we will have an additional session just for students. These will take place in the classrooms. (There is no childcare during these sessions.)
• Monthly Challenges: Each week, families will have activities to complete at home. Families will pick up a premade packet with activities each month.
• Billing: We will continue to have common pricing for all West Bend formation programs. Please remember that we are happy to help if your family is in need of financial assistance. Please don’t let cost deter you from attending.                                                       
• As a reminder, we are partnering with Holy Angels and Saint Mary’s Immaculate Conception to allow for several different options for faith formation.
• We are continuing our At-Home Program for grades 1-12 as an option if it works better for your family.
• Registration forms should be mailed to the parish at which you plan to participate – even if you are a SFC Parish Member choosing formation at another parish. Your initial $30 payment per child is to be sent to the parish where formation will be taking place. A bill for total expenses will be mailed later this fall.
• Sacraments of Initiation (First Communion, First Reconciliation and Confirmation) are to be completed in the “home parish” of an individual – even if  your formation classes take place at another parish. Students must participate in ROOTED Family Formation Program, At-Home program, neighboring parish catechetical program, OR attend a Catholic School during the year of preparation and the preceding years.  There is also a separate fee for sacramental preparation to help cover the cost of the retreats.
