SPARK is formal formation for youth in second grade and up missing formation.

About

Spark is a blended learning program where a family completes weekly home study lessons and attends twelve in-person family gatherings. In-person gatherings are for parents and children.

Choose Spark if:

Your child (entering second grade and up) attends public school and missed formation last year.

If your child is coming directly from Catholic school or Catholic homeschool, then choose the FUEL program.

Note: Ongoing participation in formal formation (first grade and up) is required for celebration of the sacraments.

  • While you are working through your weekly Spark lessons at home, you and your child will also attend our Faith on Fire Gatherings on Sundays (4:30-6:00) or Mondays (6:00-7:30 pm).

    Here are the 2024-25 Faith on Fire Gathering dates: Sept. 29/30, Oct. 6/7, Oct. 20/21, Nov. 10/11, Nov. 24/25, Dec. 8/9, Dec. 15/16, Jan. 12/13, Feb. 2/3, Feb. 23/24, Mar. 9/10, Mar. 23/24. 

    Note:  The frequency of the gatherings fluctuate during the year. Please add all dates to your calendar now to make sure you don’t miss anything!

  • Faith on Fire Sunday Gatherings are full, but there is still room on Mondays.
