We would like to express how much we appreciate the fact that you are taking your baptismal promise to heart and allowing us to work in collaboration with you to help guide your child on the most important journey of their life, their spiritual journey. As parents, you know religious education begins in the home and this is the most important place for your child to learn about their faith. We look forward to having the opportunity to assist you with this most important task.

Please provide a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate with this packet unless you have provided one to us previously or they were baptized at St. John Vianney. There will be a basket in the narthex where you may return the completed packets. We would like to receive all registrations before July 31st. We need time to recruit and train volunteer catechists as well as secure sufficient books and supplies. Any registrations received after July 31st will include a $10 late fee.

SACRAMENT INFORMATION

PARENT FAITH FORMATION PLEDGE

In accordance with the Bishop of Austin, I have chosen to enroll my children in the St. John Vianney Faith Formation program. The program exists to support me in my role as my child’s primary educator in the ways of faith. I understand that the primary purpose of the religious education program is to teach the rituals and traditions of the Catholic Faith. The program cannot be successful in this mission unless its teachings are reinforced by my own example and practice of faith. Therefore, I promise to support my child’s faith formation by:

Regularly attending Mass as a family

Praying in our home and at family meals

Reading the Scriptures in our family

Faithfully bringing my child to class

Parent/Guardian Signature

Date

Enroll in this program: RCIA for children plus grade level faith formation. Children will attend an extra class on Sunday afternoons 2nd grade faith formation—preparation takes place during class
