Faith Formation 2026-2027

This program will focus on prayer, the Sacraments, and service with special emphasis on social justice, moral reasoning and empathy for others. In addition to the Sunday classes, we also partner with our Youth minister, Rudy Flores, to provide the young people of the West Roxbury parishes with opportunities to rediscover and live their Catholic faith.

The Classes for Grades 1-6 are held at 10:30 a.m. following the 9:30 Liturgy on Sunday mornings and will begin on October 18, 2026. To know about Jesus is important but to “know Jesus” is essential for living our faith. Faith and worship go hand in hand, so this year we are again using the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies in all of our Elementary Faith Formation classes. This program is based on the liturgical calendar. The readings at Mass each week will be reflected in our classroom lesson plans, and reinforced at an age appropriate level for each child. A handout booklet will be sent home after each class to involve parents and to foster attendance at Sunday Mass. Registration forms can be picked up during the regular office hours at St. John Chrysostom Parish. The forms will also be emailed to the families who were already enrolled in the program last year. Additionally, this website, www.stjohnchrysostom02132.org, will contain this information.

Classes for both programs will be held on two Sundays each month and the scheduled dates for the classes are available on St. Theresa's website for the Confirmation preparation program and on St. John's website, this website, for Grades 1-6. Please contact Ellen Murphy at emurphy@staboston.org if you have any questions regarding the Confirmation Program. Please call Marie Sullivan at St. John's (617-323-4410 ext. #3) if you are interested in the First Communion Programs or the Elementary School classes for students in Grades 3-6.

Now, more than ever, we need to recognize the Gospel's message of love and acceptance of all people, and it is imperative to share this with our children! We hope that you and your family will be inspired by our programs to really "know Jesus" as we try to live each day as He did, caring for one another!
