“All your children will be taught by the Lord,
and great will be their peace.” Isaiah 54:13

We believe that forming the faith of our youngest members is vital to the future of our families and our Church. SJA's Faith Formation classes are held September through April on Wednesday evenings from 6 - 7:15 pm at our Shakopee Area Catholic School - SACS. Registration typically opens in late spring and continues through August.

As always, we are looking for joyful and enthusiastic volunteers to pass along the Catholic faith. Please consider joining our incredible team of volunteers as a teacher, childcare helper, hall monitor, parking attendant, or substitute! All volunteers receive a tuition discount.

Middle School parents, please note that Confirmation is a two-year program beginning in 7th grade.

Paper registration forms are available in the parish office or you are welcome to contact the Faith Formation team for a copy to be emailed to you at faithformation@ssjacs.org.

FAITH FORMATION TUITION
Participating families are asked to help support our Faith Formation program through tuition. Tuition payments cover less than 25% of the cost of our program. The balance of our cost is paid through the annual giving of all SJA parishioners.

The cost for the first student is $150. Each additional student is $50.
Teachers and childcare volunteers receive a 50% discount off the cost of the first student.
Hall monitors and substitutes receive a $25 discount.
We have online payment available through Vanco below or you are welcome to pay with a check or cash.
