Elementary Faith Formation K-5
We are so excited to get to know you and your family through Family Faith Formation here at Holy Apostles! Our goal is to create an authentic community from which formation in the Catholic faith naturally emerges. As we, Holy Apostles and the parents, begin this journey together it is important to think about your role in giving the gift of the Catholic Faith to your children. This parish is here to support you. However, parents are the ones who have the greatest impact on the faith of their children.
Our K-5th grade formation classes meet for an hour each week after the 9:00am Mass. See the calendar below for more details. Registration for Family Faith Formation and Sacramental Preparation classes is on a first come, first served basis for all active Holy Apostles Parishioners.
For more information, contact Lance Pikaart at 719-484-8732 or lpikaart@holyapostlescc.org
The curriculum we are using is Word of Life by the Augustine Institute and Ignatius Press. Word of Life is a dynamic religious education curriculum that uses the full language of the Church to communicate the Truth of the Gospel and the Love of Jesus Christ. Word of Life is designed as a 22-week program, covering a chapter a week. It employs the “four golden catechetical threads” of Salvation History, Christian Anthropology, Heroic Virtue and Character Formation, and Learning through Discipleship to foster an authentic Catholic identity.
Each grade level cycles through the entire Biblical story at an age-appropriate level with a unique overarching emphasis.
Kindergarten - "God's Plan of Love"
1st Grade - "God's Promise of a Savior"
2nd Grade - "Salvation History: God's Presence in the Sacraments"
3rd Grade - "Holy Spirit and the Life of Grace"
4th Grade - "The Creed: Truth and Our Response of Faith"
5th Grade - "Liturgy and Worship"
You can learn more about Word of Life here.

“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
--Romans 10:14-15
