Faith Formation

Family of Faith

The Family of Faith Program is our primary religious education program at St. Patrick's parish. There is a breakout session for parents and children, a meal together and a time of family prayer. Lessons to expand on the breakout session lessons are completed by the families at home during the month.  The Family of Faith meetings are once a month from October to May.

Sacramental Preparation Classes

In the Diocese of Manchester, NH preparation to receive the sacraments of First Confession, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation is a 2 year process that begins in 2nd grade and completes at the end of the 3rd grade year with Confirmation Mass with the Bishop. 

Children who are entering 2nd grade AND will be 7 years old by December 31st may be registered for the Year 1 class. Children may be registered for Year 2 after they have completed the Year 1 preparation year. Please contact Mrs. Pollock with any questions.

To participate in the sacramental preparation classes children must be registered and participating in our Family of Faith Program.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a wonderful program and we are blessed to be able to have an Atrium space here at St. Patrick's.  Our Pre-K and Kindergarten students will have lessons in the Atrium during our Family of Faith meetings. Older children who are enrolled in the Family of Faith Program may enroll for additional Catechesis lessons in our Atrium space.
