St. Thomas & St. Timothy Parish Grades 6-8 Faith Formation Process

Our Sixth grade Sacred Scripture-based class leads our middle school students into a life changing encounter with God. Our students will be introduced to the great biblical heroes of the Faith and helps them find echoes of, and help for, their own daily struggles and concerns. In the process, our students will become familiar with the basic outline of salvation history and God's plan for their lives.

The 7th & 8th grade are combined classes which reflect a retreat style experience. Our starting point is that we are created in the image & likeness of God, and that God has bestowed gifts and graces upon us so that we follow Jesus as disciples in our actions and our thoughts.  Each class begins with prayer, and takes a deep dive on a Christian theme each week. We convey our faith through PowerPoint presentations, small group discussions, activities, reflective journaling,  rituals & music. We delve into such themes as: Belonging to a Faith Community, Prayer, Sacraments, our Catholic values, our Creed, the Parts of the Mass, our Liturgical Seasons, God's Grace & the Parables.
