Faith Formation Families,

As you know, we are currently going through changes at our parish with “Into the Deep.” So far these changes have not been too vast, and that is a goal for this first year as we get to know our new parishes and learn how we can best work together in the future. However, Faith Formation is in a unique position because of recent staff departures, both at Sacred Hearts and St. Albert’s. These vacancies require us to make some changes in our Faith Formation program this year.

• K-5 will remain as in prior years at Sacred Hearts and 1-5 at St. Albert’s. Families should register their child(ren) with their respective church. At Sacred Hearts, classes will be held Wednesdays from 3:15-4:30pm, starting each week in the church and moving to the school after our gospel reflection.
• However, 6-8th grade Formation will be a combined Sacred Hearts/St. Albert’s program. All sessions will be hosted at St. Albert’s church. Families will have the option to choose class on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:15 pm OR on Sunday mornings from 9:00-10:15 am. More information and registration can be found on their parish website here: Religious Education Information - St. Albert the Great Catholic Church - Sun Prairie, WI.
• Confirmation will also be a combined Sacred Hearts/St. Albert’s ministry this year.  You can register for confirmation at either parish (on-line only at Sacred Hearts). There will be 6 required sessions during the year. Each session will have 2 dates (Wednesday at Sacred Hearts/Sunday at St. Albert’s) to choose from.  The date of Confirmation has not been finalized yet, but will be shared as soon as it is known.

I know that changes can sometimes be tough, but your patience and your understanding are greatly appreciated as we strive as a Pastorate to still provide you with a strong Faith Formation program amidst the changes that we are going through.

Please reach out to myself at paul.jozwiak@shjmp.org or Jerry Baggot (Director of Religious Education at St. Alberts) at jerry@saintalberts.org with any questions or concerns that you may have.

Thank you,

Paul Jozwiak
