At Home Faith Formation: What is it?
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 5th grade. Age appropriate workbooks are assigned to each child 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.
Curriculum Program: What books do the students use?
PK & K: Allelu!
1st to 5th Grade: Alive In Christ/Vivos En Cristo
First Eucharist Formation Program (2nd-5th Grade Yr. 1): Alive In Christ/Vivos En Cristo
First Eucharist Formation Program (3rd-12th Grade Year 2): God’s Gift Reconciliation & Eucharist Book
Children and youth participating in our At-Home Faith Formation Program have from the date of registration through the following May to complete the related chapter/unit review assignments. Students then receive credit for their participation when the chapter/unit reviews assignments are turned in to our religious education staff.
