"People were bringing even infants to Him that He might touch them." Luke 18:15

Did you know that children, even three-year-olds, are capable of experiencing God in their daily lives? Preschoolers/kindergarteners are so open to learning about God that this is a PRIME time to begin watering the seeds that were planted at their baptism. Why not enroll your preschool child in this unique parent-child faith formation program at St. Blase.

· Frequency: The Early Childhood Faith Formation Program meets approximately twice a month from October - May. Full Catechetical Sessions at the beginning of the month are 1 ½ hours long which include a session designed around a specific faith theme, craft, song, storytelling & prayer. Music Praise Sessions in the middle of the month are 45 minutes long in which all participants, parents & children, move and sing to praise music. See yearly calendar below.

· Is there babysitting available? Sorry. But to make things a bit more accommodating, the 45 minute Music Praise Session in the middle of the month is also enjoyed by the very, very young children. Feel free to bring your infants or toddlers to this middle-of-the month 45 min. session.

· What if I can't bring my child to a session? Grandparents or another significant other person in your child's life may accompany them.

· How do I register? Come into the Parish Office to fill out a registration form. Please bring along your child's Baptismal Certificate if the child was baptized outside of St. Blase. Parish office hours are Monday - Thursday @ 9 am - 7 pm. Friday @ 9 am - 3 pm. Saturday @ 9 am - 4 pm. Office is closed daily for lunch from noon - 1:30 pm.

· Formation Program Fees: St. Blase Parishioner: 1 child $105, 2 children $120, 3 or more $135. Non-parishioner: 1 child $210, 2 children $240, 3 or more $270.

Comments from Other parents:
"I was COMPLETELY blown away by the quality of your program and am SO excited about the rest of the year! I've been going on and on about it to my friends "back home" in Ohio and my family here!"

"The kids (and I!) love it. They have so much fun! Conversations in the car driving home tell me my kids really "get it."
