Welcome to Grade 2 - Faith Formation for 2021 - 2022
|
Grade 2 Faith Formation is the second of two years of preparation for receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion, typically in the second grade. Students will be prepared to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the winter, and the Sacrament of Holy Communion in the late spring.
Classes meet approximately twice a month in the classrooms. As an important part of their program for the year, students will also be attending Mass with a parent and completing a Mass worksheet once or twice a month (specific dates are on the schedule).

Class Options for 2021 - 2022 for Grade 2
This year, we have two options for Grade 2 classes. All Grade 2 classes will meet on-site in our classrooms with catechist(s).
Option 1: On-site classes + class Masses, will meet Sundays from 9 - 10 am in the classrooms or church
Option 2: On-site classes + class Masses, classes will meet Wednesdays from 3:30 - 4:45 pm
Please note that these classes have been scheduled at the same time as the Family session for grades 1, 3 - 5. This
would allow a parent to attend the family session with a sibling while the grade 2 student attends his/her class. Preference for Wed Grade 2 classes will be for families with a sibling attending the Family Program.
Option 2: On-site classes + class Masses, classes will meet Wednesdays from 3:30 - 4:45 pm
Please note that these classes have been scheduled at the same time as the Family session for grades 1, 3 - 5. This
would allow a parent to attend the family session with a sibling while the grade 2 student attends his/her class. Preference for Wed Grade 2 classes will be for families with a sibling attending the Family Program.
Safety Considerations for On-site Classes
We will be following covid safety protocols in how we run our Fall/Spring classes. Per the Archdiocese of Boston, for classes meeting through March 3, 2022, masks will be required for all participants age 5 and up. Anyone who is sick or has been exposed to someone who is sick should stay home and email for make-up work. Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and understanding.

Program Books
Augustine Institute
Signs of Grace These are the two books for the program -- one on Reconciliation and one on Holy Communion |

Please Note: There is a short video that goes with each lesson in the Signs of Grace texts. The students will be viewing these in class, but you can also find the videos to watch at home on www.formed.org. See our homepage for instructions on how to sign-up for a free account on FORMED. FORMED also has a lot of great Catholic content for children, including the Brother Francis videos that are wonderful for students preparing for First Reconciliation and First Communion.
