Contact: Maria Cornell, Coordinator - Maria@pius.org Registration Materials: Children's Faith Formation begins in Kindergarten, continuing through the Eighth Grade. Each school year builds on the knowledge learned during the previous year, the understanding of the child and the experience of faith expressed through the family. It is important for families to attend mass together, pray and discuss their faith, to reinforce the weekly lessons. Children's Liturgy of the Word (pre-K - 2nd & 3rd - 5th grade) each week at the 9:30am mass offers children an opportunity to hear the readings from the Children's Lectionary, followed by discussion and/or an activity. Children are dismissed following the Opening Prayer and return to church following the General Intercessions. Faith Formation Classes are offered:
