About our At-Home Faith Formation Program

As a parish, we recognize that parents are the primary educators of their children. Our Lady of Guadalupe in Helotes provides an At-Home self-paced faith formation program for children and youth in grades Pre-K3 through 8th.  Grade appropriate workbooks are assigned to each child and youth to learn and work on from home at their own pace with the guidance of a parent/guardian.

Our At-Home program is for continuing religious education before and after receiving a sacrament such as First Holy Communion. Children in 2nd grade or higher are required to register and complete a minimum of one year of the At-Home Formation Program before enrolling in the Sacramental Preparation Program (year two)  First Holy Communion.
