ABOUT US:
​
2024-2025 REGISTRATION IS OPEN
​
If you would like to be a teacher, aid, or volunteer please click here!
​
​
Our school consists of over 200 students who grow in the faith that begins at home with our parents!
​
Our volunteer teachers are trained to help the children learn about God and the Catholic Church in a safe and fun environment.
​
We encourage parents to attend two Family Sessions during the year which include take-home activities to work on with your child so you can deepen your faith connection.
​
We also offer opportunities for the children (and the parents) to get involved in the St. Francis community, including our children's choir and our family greeter program.

YEARLY Faith Formation classes are required in order for our students to be fully prepared to receive all of their Sacraments and to grow consistently in their faith. Please continue to register your child for classes until they receive their Confirmation (or they may not be eligible to receive with their peers!!).
