Our vision for religious education for students in grades K-8 is to provide an environment in which our Faith Formation team and parents work together to foster learning about our Catholic Faith with our children and accompany them in developing personal relationships with Christ. By leading through the example of our strong commitment to our Catholic faith, we demonstrate that the journey of faith is a lifelong journey that is strenghthened within our parish community.
We will begin the year on Catechetical Sunday, September 19th. All families are invited to join us for Mass at 11:00 AM in Saint Joseph Church. After Mass, families are invited to share in fellowship, ask questions about the program, meet the catechists, and collect materials.
From October through May, our family-based Faith Formation program will meet monthly on Sundays following the 11:00 AM Mass or Wednesday evenings following the 6:30 PM Mass at St. Joseph Church. After we share in the celebration of Mass we will gather for hospitality and catechesis for the family, which will include family activities as well as breakout sessions by age group. Each family will take home resources for activities to work on as a family throughout the rest of the month.
Here's an example of a Sunday session schedule:
11:00 AM- 12:00 PM Mass
12:00 PM-12:15 PM Gather/review (all)

We have made every effort to follow the Fox Chapel schedule in planning our calendar. If there is a need to cancel any of our sessions, we will send a notification through our Flocknote system. It will be announced on the local networks’ television (WPXI & WTAE) and. However, WE DO NOT follow Fox Chapel School District in decisions regarding school closings.
