Children's Faith Formation
Vacation Bible School: True North
Vacation Bible School will take place from June 23rd to June 27th from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm
We welcome children entering Kindergarten through children entering 5th grade. Children have a great time spending the morning learning about God's love for us.
Cost is $25 per child, $50 cap per family and $50 for out of parish families. Scholarships are readily available, just contact Analaura (analaura@saintteresa.org) so, please, don't let cost stop you from enrolling your children. We want to see all the children at the parish here!
Please consider volunteering for camp. We have an urgent need of adult volunteers. It is impossible to run the camp without adults leading the stations.

Sunday School Pre-K - 5th grade
Sunday School meets during the school year on Sundays from 10-10:55am (between our two Sunday morning Masses).
Children are divided by grade levels and taught by our enthusiastic and faith filled catechists. Children have a wonderful time learning about our faith.
Registration for the 2025-2026 school year will be posted mid August
If you would like to volunteer as a Sunday School teacher or a substitute Sunday School teacher contact Analaura Rodriguez at analaura@saintteresa.org It's a fun role with a medium time commitment.

First Reconciliation and First Communion
2nd - 6th Grade
Registration for First Reconciliation and First Communion classes for 2025-2026 will be posted mid August
Classes begin in October and meet weekly on Monday evenings from 6:00-7:15 pm. First Reconciliation is a required part of the First Communion program. Parents won't be teaching any part of the curriculum at home, but we require that at least one parent attends every session.
2nd grade is when most children receive their First Reconciliation / Communion. The requirements to enroll in Sacramental Preparation for the 2025-2026 program are:
- Children must have been baptized in the Catholic Church.
- Children must be at least 7 years old by November 2025.
- Children must have completed a full year of Sunday School the year prior to enrolling in this program.
If your child is unbaptized, was baptized in another faith tradition, or is in 7th grade or older and needs to receive these Sacraments, please contact Analaura Rodriguez for information on which programs are available for them.
If you have an elementary aged child with a disability, don't let that stop you from having him or her receive these important Sacraments. We can work with your family. Get in touch with Analaura Rodriguez for more information (analaura@saintteresa.org)
