What About CLOW?
Children's Mass & Children's Liturgy of the Word
SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF COVID
Children's Mass
On the first 1st Sunday of each month at 10:30am Mass, children are invited to sit on the steps of the altar while the priest directs his homily towards them.
Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLOW)
On the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Sundays of each month at 10:30am Mass, children are invited to gather before Mass and go to the Madonna Room for child-specific versions of the readings and homily; children return to the church right after the priest's homily has ended. If you are an adult who would be willing to lead some of the CLOW days, please call the Faith Formation Office at 410-879-0959. No teaching experience necessary!

REGISTRATION CLOSES SEPTEMBER 30TH
REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR 2021-2022!
REGISTER EARLY.
St. Ignatius Church will return to in-person faith formation in the fall using protocols to assure the safety and well-being of our students and teachers. One of the many things we learned from the Covid 19 pandemic is that situations change rapidly. We will be ready to adapt to changing circumstances and continue to strictly follow the mandates of the State of Maryland as well as those from the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
- TUITION: Tuition is reduced! Faith formation classes for grades K through 8 are $100 per child with a $300 family maximum. Sacramental preparation for Reconciliation and Eucharist is $50 (total) and for Confirmation is $150 (increased to cover an off campus retreat.) No one is turned away because of the inability to pay. Extended payment plans make monthly payments affordable and additional financial support is available if needed. Contact me in the Faith Formation Office at 410-879-0959 or cyork@stignatiushickory.org .

Welcome to the Faith Formation Program at St. Ignatius Parish
With nearly 500 students and many volunteer teachers and aides, St. Ignatius' Faith Formation program is an active and vital part of our parish life. Through the Office of Faith Formation, St. Ignatius provides catechesis to the children and youth of our Parish whose regular school curriculum does not include instruction in the Roman Catholic Tradition. Faith Formation at St. Ignatius implements the six fundamental tasks of catechesis: promoting knowledge of the faith, liturgical education and the sacraments, moral formation, teaching to pray, the life of the community, and evangelization - the building and mission of the Church. The program provides extensive resources for both parents and catechists.
To learn more about our Faith Formation programs for all ages, click on the program boxes below. When you have decided which programs best fit your family's needs, follow the REGISTER link above to get directed to our online registration site. All registrations are done on line.
Our staff is here to support you! To reach the Faith Formation Office, call 410-879-0959.
