St. Michael the Archangel
For the 2026-27 School Year:
Grades 1 through 6 and Journey in Faith
Classes are held on Saturday morning, from September to April, at St. Michael the Archangel for children in Grades 1 through 6. And also, for students in the Journey in Faith class; a study year for High School students prior to Confirmation preparation. Two sessions are held on Saturday morning. Session 1 is from 8:30 am to 9:45 am. Session 2 is from 10:15 am to 11:30 am. Your child’s (children’s) session will be assigned at the Open House in September. 2026-2027 Calendars will be available at the Open House.
- In grades 1 through 6, we teach using the “Alive in Christ” texts published by Our Sunday Visitor. Students encounter Sacred Scripture that is prayed with, reflected upon, studied, and applied to their daily lives.
- In the Journey in Faith classes, we teach using the “Faith Fusion” texts published by Our Sunday Visitor. The text provides a comprehensive overview of the faith built on the four-pillar structure of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Each lesson connects the faith to the students' lives through prayer, reflections, activities, and stories of saints and other holy people. This class is for High School students needing an additional year of study and faith formation before entering the two-year Confirmation curriculum.
