Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s)
We are looking forward to a great year in the St. John's Faith Formation Program and want to welcome you and your family.
To the
left, you will find a family registration form and an
information sheet for you to complete and return to the Faith
Formation Office.
NOTE: See our policy,
approved by the Parish Council,
below.
Also
enclosed is a volunteer sign-up form. Please look this over carefully and check the area(s) in which you are able to help out. Teachers and team teachers receive tuition reduction. Full time teachers receive one student at no cost; half-time teachers receive a student at half cost. Our programs here at St. Johns depend on volunteers. We need your help in whatever area you can share your time and talents.
Thank you for being part of St. John's Faith Formation Program. If you have any questions, please call the Faith Formation Office at 651-633-1540.

Director
RATIONALE:
Religious Education classes are an important part of the
growth in faith life for the children and young adults of our
parish. In order that this service is the best that it can be,
it is necessary that registrations be entered by the middle of
August. Books need to be purchased and teachers recruited and
available for in-services before all classes begin in
mid-September. Class size is a concern for each teacher, and
an effort is made to keep the classes at about 10 to 12
students per teacher.
POLICY:
All students and young adults must be registered for
classes by August
15th of each year that they are
attending. If registrations come in after this time, they may
be assigned home study and placed on a waiting list until
space is available.
PROCEDURE:
> Registrations will begin in the spring. Sacraments are
a separate registration form.
> Registration and credit card payment can also be
completed on the web site, www.stjohnnb.com, and
faxed to the Parish Office at (651) 633-7404.
> The registration fee can be paid at the time of
registration, or you can be billed in August.
> If you choose to volunteer as a catechist while your
child/children are in the programs, discounts are
available.
> Class lists will be prepared by September 1
st .
> Once accepted into a session -- changing sessions will not be permitted
unless there is an opening.
