Office of Faith Formation - Religious Education Program

Religious Education Calendar
Welcome

Thank you for choosing St. Oscar Romero Parish for your child's faith formation.  To register for Religious Education classes click here.

Canton Catholic Community is a wonderful family community – rich in relationships that matter most. In our Faith Formation Program, we can grow, worship, learn, and reach out to each other in what is most important: the faith formation of our children! Faith begins in the home, and the catechists who volunteer in our programs are committed to helping parents form their young children in the ways and teachings of Jesus.

At Baptism, parents promise to accept the responsibility of training their children in the practice of the Catholic faith and teaching them to keep God's commandments by loving God and our neighbors. To help keep this promise, your children should be registered in our parish faith formation program if they do not attend a Catholic school. Students participate in the Confirmation Program in both 9th and 10th grade regardless of the high school they attend.

We pray that you will also take an active role in nurturing and developing the gift of faith in your children as a family. Raising them to love and follow Jesus and his church is the greatest gift you can give them - one that will lay the foundation for their faith and remain in their hearts for a lifetime.

A two-year preparation is required for receiving the sacraments of Reconciliation  and Eucharist. These sacraments typically take place in the 2nd grade. In order to properly know their faith, children should complete eight years in our faith formation program before moving into the two-year Confirmation program.

We invite you to prayerfully consider joining us as volunteers in the very important and rewarding work of your child’s faith formation. 

Welcome to the St. Oscar Romero Parish serving the Canton Catholic Community!

Sincerely,

Volunteers
​The Religious Education Program relies on volunteers. 

PLEASE CONSIDER BEING A RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHER:  The program relies on volunteers to teach the Religious Education classes.  You do not need any special skills or abilities, just the willingness to share your faith with the children of our parish.  We provide materials and support to help you with class management, lesson planning, etc.  Whether you are a parent, a grandparent, a high school or college student, or a parishioner looking to encourage the youth of the parish in their faith, we want to talk to you.  Thank you in advance for considering to volunteer. Please reach out to Nancy Cunniff at ncunniff@cantoncatholic.org

Circle of Grace Safety Program

Picture
Grades 1-5
​Circle of Grace is a Christian safe environment curriculum that helps to form and educate children and youth about the value of positive relationships with God and others.
The Circle of Grace curriculum teaches children and youth how to identify and maintain appropriate physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries; recognize when boundary violations are about to occur; and demonstrate how to take action when boundaries are threatened or violated.

The Circle of Grace Meditation
Raise your hands above your head, 
then bring your outstretched arms slowly down.
Extend your arms in front of you
and then behind you. 
Embrace all of the space around you.
Slowly reach down to your feet.
Know that God is in this space with you.
This is your Circle of Grace;
you are in it.

Grades 6-8
