Family Faith Nights & Service Opportunities

We offer unique opportunities for families to grow in faith. Throughout the year we sponsor Family Faith Nights where the whole family is encouraged to join us for the evening. This year’s events include: A Night in Bethlehem for Advent and Interactive Stations of the Cross for Lent.

Religious Education also offers age-appropriate opportunities to practice their faith in service to others. Past events have included Project Linus and Feed My Starving Children. We look forward to exploring more opportunities for our children to serve and put their faith in action.

Registration:

Registration will close on June 30th. After June 30^th, we will put students on a waitlist, and students will be accepted as space is available. The cost is $210. Tuition Assistance is available for families in need. Please contact Theresa Storto, tstorto@stjamesah.org.

We understand that the classroom model is not ideal for all families. We offer a homeschool option at the same cost for those who prefer at-home learning. If you have questions about Children’s Faith Formation at St. James, please contact Bethany Larson, and she will help you navigate this process.

Open Doors Ministry:

Open Doors provides faith formation for individuals and families with special needs. This includes adaptive programming and inclusion to prepare children in need of accommodations for the Sacraments.

We welcome all learners and seek to offer access to our Faith for everyone. You can register for Open Doors through the Religious Education Registration Form.

Volunteer Opportunity:

Do you feel called to serve as a classroom catechist? To volunteer as a hall monitor or other support? To be an Open Doors Mentor? Do you want to help but are not sure how or in what capacity? Please contact Bethany Larson to learn more and get connected to our vibrant community of faith-filled learners. Or fill out the form here. All catechists will receive training and ongoing support in the classroom, along with registration fee being waived. We welcome you to the team!
