A careful reading through the documents of the Catholic Church quickly reveals the Church's great expectations for the family. "The right and duty of parents to give education is essential ... original and primary ... and it is irreplaceable and incapable of being entirely delegated to others." Familiaris Consortio, 36 "The family is a domestic church." Lumen Gentium, 11
Our Parish creates a program of lifelong faith formation that is centered in the domestic church and flows out of the events of the Sacred Liturgy. It embraces all ages and generations, and promotes participation in the life of the Church.Family Formation serves PreK through 6th grade children and their parents.

SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION
If your child (under the age of 7 years) needs to be baptized, please call the Parish Office (940-723-5288) to inquire about Baptism classes and God Parent/Parent requirements.
All children who are baptized Catholic and are at least seven years old and/or in the second grade, are eligible to prepare for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. Families must be registered at Sacred Heart before classes begin in the Fall. Children must also have completed at least one year of formal catechesis PRIOR to enrolling in our Sacramental Preparation Classes.
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)--Adapted for Children is the liturgical rite and catechetical process for children ages 7 years and above to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church. If your child is 7 years or older, and has not been baptized, please contact Lori Shidell, Director of Children's Formation/Family Formation at 940-723-5288.
