At the Church of the Nativity, we believe that faith formation is a life long activity and connection to God. We begin providing formal faith formation for our 3 year old children and continue through the adult years.
Registration for Faith Formation for the 2011/2012 year will continue throughout the year. We are always accepting registrations and will not turn anyone away. To cover the cost of books and supplies, our fees for the program will be $30 per child enrolled. Classes will begin this year on Sunday, August 14, 2011 with the last class being on Sunday, May 20, 2012. Forms can be found in the back of the church on the Religious Education table. Children will be placed in classes based on their age/grade as of September 30, 2011.
Please contact the parish office at 615-302-4004 or faithformation@nativitycatholic.net with any questions regarding Faith Formation or Totus Tuus summer Catechetical program.
