We have provided families with Virtues in Practice program, created by the Dominican Sisters in Nashville, TN, as a teaching tool for the whole family to work at home to grow in virtue. Each month has a virtue to focus on and age-appropriate lessons for discussion.

We are glad to expand our CGS program to offer three sessions in for all three levels for children age 3 through 6th grade. CGS is a Montessori-based approach to faith formation that focuses on the essentials of the Catholic faith and developing a relationship with Christ as the Good Shepherd with the Catechist and Holy Spirit to guide them.

All of our classes for PreK-4th grade are in the CGS model. 5th and 6th graders at 5:00 are also in CGS, and at 6:30 may choose this as an option.

More information is available on the CGSUSA website. 

9th and 10th grade: Confirmation students attend youth group on Wednesday nights and a once a month Confirmation class or retreat specifically focusing on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Sacrament of Confirmation. 

St. Malachy's offers the option of receiving materials to be instructed at home by parents and/or in a family setting. DRE Kelley Grothus will provide guidance, resources, and more for families who choose this option. Catechists will not provide at-home materials for homeschooling families. 

Families still register and pay for religious education within the parish and will receive notifications for parish and family events and Sacraments that you are welcome and encouraged to particiapte in.
