YFF -- YOUTH FAITH FORMATION(K-8)
24-25 YFF Click here for Registration
YFF Classes meet weekly inside Holy Trinity Catholic School
beginning September 8th through April 2025
on Sundays from 9:00-10:15 am
​
At Holy Trinity Catholic Church, we are pleased to partner with you – parents or guardians,
grandparents and other household members, who are the primary teachers of faith to your children. You are constantly teaching your children about our faith by modeling Catholic behavior, attending Mass with your children each week, praying and talking about our faith with your children as you go about your daily life. What you do greatly affects them. We’re here to help support you in your teaching.
​
Our catechists graciously volunteer to share their own experience of faith and strive to make Christ visible to their students through this religious education program. We hope that this faith formation will result in young adults who will themselves proclaim the Lord in word and deed.
Families who join the parish at other times of the year are welcome to register their children in YFF at any time by contacting the Director of Faith Formation, Jenifer Lohmann, at (618)628-8825 ext. 306.
Get Involved!

The CLW program is offered at 10:30AM Mass on Sundays for students in grades K-3rd who have not yet received their First Communion.
​
From September through May, Children will be invited forward at the beginning of 10:30 Mass to be blessed and sent forth to hear the scripture readings and engage in activities and worksheets appropriate for their age level. A catechist will lead them to the parish gathering room for their session and then will guide them back to the church to return to their parents during the offertory collection at Mass.
​
Children may come as often as they want; they do not need to join the group every Sunday. No sign-in is necessary.
Calling all preschool children ages 3-5!
The SEEDS program is here just for you, our little ones in Christ.
​
At the start of our 10:30 Mass, after Father invites the children to come forward, have mom and dad help you come join the big kids and catechists who will guide you out of the church and into our SEEDS room. As the big kids continue walking to their own room, you will stay in the SEEDS room to hear about the bible readings, pray, sing, and have fun learning about how much God loves you!
Your catechist will help you get back in line with the big kids again and return to the church during the offertory collection to sit with mom and dad, so you can see how we all celebrate the Liturgy of the Eucharist together!
You do not have to attend SEEDS every week, but you are welcome to attend as often as you like! No sign-in is necessary
