A Message from our Faith Formation Team 2021-22


Welcome back to our new Faith Formation year!

We have begun classes for grades PreK-10th grade including the sacraments of Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation.

It is very important that your child be enrolled in every grade up to and including the Confirmation program in 9th and 10th grade. If your family has not been participating in the faith formation program or Covid has impacted your registration, now is the time to get them back onto the path. Any student interested in preparing for Confirmation starting in 9th grade must first attend the 8th-grade classes.

Our goal is to meet in person twice a month with resources and activities on the faith formation website for those weeks we are not meeting in person. 

Thank you for your support and prayers as we strive to partner with you on your child’s faith journey. As always, we are here to support you also with any needs or concerns you have as the year progresses.

Email us with any questions at reo@sjbrh.org or call us at 860-529-1274. 

Peace,​

We are going to continue our family tradition that will teach your kids about thankfulness. Every night for the month of October and November, gather as a family, and add a message, passage, name, or prayer on your Thankful Pumpkin!

​Meet the Team

Our team of dedicated faith formation staff is on board to help guide, teach, and pave the path for your children to experience the higher power of God's love. Parent and guardian support is important in this lifelong journey of faith by supporting the catechists (teachers), making sure students attend every class, and also attend church on a regular basis.
