On-site Registration for the 2018/19 Faith Formation/sacramental preparation year takes place after Sunday Masses (except the 5:30 p.m.) on August 5 and August 12 in the dining room.

Some information to be aware of before you register:
- All families wishing to sign-up for Faith Formation must be registered members of Holy Spirit. If you haven’t already completed a Parish Census Form to be a part of our wonderful faith community, we ask that you do that first before picking up registration paperwork for Faith Formation.
- Children registering for sacramental preparation MUST HAVE completed the required one year of Faith Formation last year, whether it was at Holy Spirit or another parish. If it was at another parish, a Letter of Attendance Verification from that parish MUST be on file with our office prior to registering for sacramental preparation. We will also need a copy of the child’s baptismal certificate before accepting sacramental preparation paperwork.
- The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in the 8th Grade or older and First Communion in the 2nd Grade or older. However, attendance for two consecutive years in Faith Formation/Youth Ministry remains a diocesan requirement for sacramental preparation. We check attendance when you register for sacramental preparation to ensure children/youth meet the two-year requirement and that attendance was satisfactory the year prior, which means six absences or less for 2017/18, per our Attendance Policy.
- For paperwork received on the 5th or 12th, all Faith Formation registration fees/sacramental expenses must be paid in full by Thursday, August 16 before your child will be placed on a class roster. Current class fees are $55.00 for one child; $110.00 for two children; and $125.00 for three or more children. There is a separate sacramental materials/supplies expense of $30.00. Class fees will increase substiantially as of August 24.
- We will not accept registrations after Thursday, August 16 in order to prepare for the first day of class and Parent Meet & Greet on Sunday, August 26. You can still obtain paperwork at the Community Center front desk Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but it will not be processed until after the Labor Day Holiday.
- Children registering after August 17 will attend class on Sunday, September 9. Additionally, in order to make sure our Parent Meet & Greet runs smoothly, we will be unable to distribute or accept registration paperwork on Sunday, August 26!!
If you received a fee statement in the mail, those are now due in order for your child to be placed on a class roster for the upcoming year. We cannot guarantee class availability for those with outstanding balances. Please contact Deborah with any questions or if payment is an issue. All outstanding fees must be paid in full by August 16. Credit card payments may be made on-line.
