2 PARENTS, SHARE YOUR GIFTS AND TALENTS! Volunteer Opportunities Catechist Catechists are people of faith, sharing their faith with the children of our Parish. There is a team of two people for each class. Some have children in the program; some do not. Some have experience teaching; most do not. All you need is a willing heart, a desire to pass on our faith and a sense of ministry. Also needed is a willingness to come for training and meetings, to prepare well, and to nurture the future of the church. This Ministry offers a chance to grow in your own faith and strengthen your sense of belonging to our parish community. We provide clearly written text material with on-going support. All crafts, music, materials, videos, etc. are also provided. Training includes two workshops, a formation meeting during the year and an opportunity to attend diocesan workshops with an exciting variety of topics. Substitute Catechist Catechists are sometimes unavailable to attend due to illness or other obligations. Every classroom must always have 2 cleared adults. Substitutes are necessary to avoid class cancellations. We need at least ten substitutes for each class session. Sacrament Preparation Catechist There will be additional sessions to prepare students to receive First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. There will be 4 half day retreats, 2 in the fall and 2 in the winter/spring. Teen Classroom Aide An excellent opportunity for teens to become involved in Elementary Faith Formation as invaluable assistants to our catechists. Our aides assist the catechist with classroom activities by reading stories, helping with projects, etc. There is a form on our web site for teen volunteers. Nursery Provide on-site child care for Catechists children under the age of three during Elementary Faith Formation sessions. Hallway Monitor Hallway volunteers monitor various locations throughout the building for the safety of our children during our sessions. These volunteers choose their time; parents often help while their child is in class. Whether you are able to volunteer once a month or every week, bring your coffee, newspaper or even your laptop! We welcome your help with this important position. Office Volunteers Many hands do indeed make light work during our weekly sessions or a few hours during the day as needed for onetime projects. Volunteers help with mailings, collecting attendance, phone work, preparing crafts, collating program materials, etc. Grade Level Supply Coordinator This involves coming in approximate two weeks before the lesson to inventory the existing supplies and coordinate the creation of needed supplies with other volunteers. You can work with others or on your own schedule. Material Assembly Volunteers Bi-weekly sessions or a few hours during the day as needed for one-time projects. Volunteers enjoy coffee and camaraderie while helping assemble lesson materials for each class. Elementary volunteers need to become cleared adults. Please look on our web site for details. Thank you for taking the time to volunteer. We need help year round to prepare and equip our program.

3 Our Lady of Angels Children s Faith Formation Classes This year all classes begin the week of Sunday, August 30 th and will meet at our Ridgeview Campus. Sunday 8:45 10:00 am Sunday 10:45 am 12:00 pm All classes will be 1 hour and 15 minutes. CLASS DAYS AND TIMES Monday Monday 4 5:15 pm 6 7:15 pm Tuesday 4 5:15 pm The grades and classes available will be dependent upon two cleared adult volunteers per class and a minimum of 5 students. Our calendar considers the liturgical calendar as well as the school calendars for Allen, Frisco and Plano ISDs. If two or more school districts have a holiday, classes will be suspended for the week. You can find a copy of the calendar on our web site. All registration is on a first come basis. An exception may be made for a volunteer catechist. Any fees should be paid at time of registration. No child will ever be turned away due to financial need. Scholarships are available and fully confidential. FEES As part of Our Lady of Angel s mission Continuing Christ's mission to further the Kingdom of God, we aim to provide quality faith formation. For the annual registration, a fee of $95 per child/teen with a maximum of $285 per family is requested. Since it is our mission to provide formation and nurture young disciples of Jesus, we will always provide no-questions-asked assistance to families who find themselves in financial hardships. Program expenses such as books, materials, volunteer training, staff salaries, and the use of the building are not covered entirely by registration fees. The remaining cost for each child s formation is financed by the generosity of our regular Sunday contributions and donations. We encourage all families to give regularly according to the gifts God has bestowed upon them. CURRICULUM Our curriculum for 1 st through 5 th grade is Christ Our Life which utilizes a spiral curriculum that allows for continuous growth of faith in the students both in scope and depth. With a focus on Scripture, the content blends core beliefs: Creed, Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer. Each chapter includes opportunities for prayer, family features to encourage parental involvement, classical and multicultural artwork, Catholic social teaching applications, and activities. STUDENT SAFETY We need to keep our children safe at all times. Catechists in the classroom are the ones who keep attendance for the class and are the first line of response in the event the building needs to be evacuated. All students must be brought into and picked up from class by an adult or a responsible teen relative. Students cannot come into the building for class by themselves. A responsible caregiver must come in to ensure that there are two cleared adults in the classroom and that your child is safely in their classroom. Thank you for your help with this. ATTENDANCE POLICY All students are expected to attend regularly to gain the most benefit from the program. Students in sacramental preparation must attend 80 percent of classes in both years to be considered ready to receive their sacrament and all four sacrament retreats. Make up classes and additional work can be arranged for special circumstances. Missing a retreat or more than 20% of classes may add additional time to your child s sacrament preparation Ridgeview Drive Allen, Texas (469) Fax (469)

4 FIRST RECONCILIATION & FIRST EUCHARIST Sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation (also called Confession or Penance) and First Eucharist (also called Communion) normally takes place in the first and second grade for children baptized in the Catholic Faith. Essential for the preparation of First Eucharist is regular worship in Sunday Mass, participation in faith formation classes, and participation in our sacrament preparation retreats and home study. Diocesan policy requires that students have two consecutive years of preparation prior to First Eucharist. Our program uses the classroom to teach the basics of our faith and family retreats to build community and foster family faith formation, realizing that the primary teachers of the faith are family. Sacramental preparation includes regular religious education classes for children, and two parent and child preparation retreats for each of the Sacraments (a total of 4 retreats over two years.) These retreats are in the fall for the first year of preparation and in the winter/spring for the second year. Missing a retreat may add additional time to your child s sacrament preparation. Year One The first year the student is enrolled in the appropriate class for their school grade and they must attend 2 retreats with their parents in the fall. Although this is usually 1 st grade, a student can be a year one student in 1 st thru 6 th grade. This first year concentrates on beginning to understand and appreciate Mass as well as the Commandments and forgiveness. Year Two The second year students also enroll in the appropriate grade. Although this is usually 2 nd grade, a student can be a year two student in 1 st thru 6 th grade. There are 2 family retreats in the winter and spring concentrating on Reconciliation and Eucharist. If your student attended class in another parish last year and is enrolling for the 2 nd year of sacrament preparation, you will need to submit a letter from your previous parish to confirm attendance. If your child was home schooled, please let us know the method or curriculum used. If your child has missed some or all grades, there is a place for your child to begin sacramental preparation. Please indicate on the registration form if your child needs Baptism or First Communion. We will contact you to discuss a plan for your child.
