2025-26 Registration opens NOW!FAMILY HOME MINISTRY (FHM) is an opportunity for parents and children to learn about their faith together. Parents are responsible for teaching lessons at home. In addition, parents and children gather in large group gatherings 6 times a year from 6:30-7:30 p.m. usually in the Parish Hall to dive deeper into the theme for the year. FHM is available for Grades K-4.
Resources: Each family will receive a tote with their Alive in Christ textbooks and additional resources for home study and prayer. A companion website, Our Sunday Visitor, provides many online resources (lesson plans, games and music) for each chapter.
Parents' role: Parents are asked to work with their children to complete one unit (3 chapters) each month. Families must submit chapter reviews to the Faith Formation Director either electronically, through mail, or in-person at Family Home Ministry gatherings. Families with more than one child in the program can work together using the family lesson plans.

Each scheduled monthly gathering will offer two different Thursday evening dates to attend September-April. (There are no gatherings in December.) Each family may CHOOSE ONE of the dates to attend each month. Since we meet only seven times during the year, it is extremely important that families make it a priority to attend and submit the chapter reviews on a regular basis.
Important: For students preparing for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist, an additional registration is required for both Eucharist and Reconciliation Prep AND either a grade-level Sunday class, Family Home Ministry, or be attending a Catholic school. (Documentation verifying their Catholic school enrollment will be required).
NOTE: Is your child entering Grade 5? Students in Grades 5, 6 & 7 can register for PEAK (Pray, Encounter, and Know). This program replaces Family Home Ministry Grade 5. -
