We are excited to begin another year of Faith Formation with your children! This year we are in-person at both sites, though you still have the option to home school. Faith Formation sessions meet on Wednesdays 6:30-7:30 pm at St. Gabriel and on the 2nd Sunday of the month from 4:00-6:00 and 6:00-8:00 at St. Patrick. We mostly follow the school calendars and meet September through April. We need your assistance in getting your children registered for Faith Formation, even if you plan on home schooling the whole year. These registration forms provide us with the information we need to provide your child/(ren) a comfortable and safe learning environment. As we register, we are again gathering the needed information to provide for the safety and well-being of your children. We try to obtain as much of the needed information during registration time and then supplement it only as needed. This will serve to satisfy the necessary insurance requirements and reduce the times you are requested to supply this information. This also helps us to gather contact information to be sure that we are sending any information to the correct place. We now have online registration, where you can enter all your information in one place, click on the link (http://www.myschoolsystems.com/Archdbq/dbq169) and follow all directions. Faith Formation tuition is $65 for one child or $80 for family. At this time we do not accept online payment, please bring or send your payment to the church office. If you have forgotten your username or password for online registration, or if you prefer to fill out paper forms, please contact Sara.
We are blessed with great catechists for the 2025-2026 faith formation year. If you are interested in teaching or helping one of our faith formation classes, please contact Faith Formation Coordinator Sara Vandenberg at 319-345-2006 with your preferred grade level (K-12). Not sure what a catechist does, or looking for more information about catechesis? Check out this brochure, or contact Sara with any questions!

There will not be Confirmation this year. The Archbishop has requested that we only have it every other year. So our next one will be in 2026.
