Summer Formation

We are offering an intensive, two-week Religious Formation class for our young members who attend the public school system. The program is in use in other parts of the country, but we will be the first parish in the Omaha area to offer this alternative.

Two hundred of our young people are in the program. In the first week, there was only one absence. Other parishes that have used this approach have found that the children retain the information better from an intensive program in comparison to the once-a-week program. The number of class hours remains the same between the intensive summer program and the weekly school-year program. Each day the students gather in the gym for an activity before class. Today Fr. Damian is speaking to all of them. On Tuesday they all sang with Deacon Thome.

After the singing, they all headed to their classes.

We delight in watching our students grow in their faith this summer. Thank you to everyone who helps make this possible.
