SPARK is formal formation for youth in second grade and up missing formation.
About
Spark is a blended learning program where your family completes weekly home study lessons and our Faith on Fire family gatherings. These in-person gatherings are for children and parents.
Choose Spark if:
Your child (entering second grade and up) attends public school and missed formation last year.
(If your child is completed formation at another parish last year, attended Catholic school, or was homeschooled with an approved Catholic program, then choose the FUEL program.)
Learn more below!
Note: Ongoing participation in formal formation (first grade and up) is required for celebration of the sacraments.
