Family Faith Formation (FFF)

Family Faith Formation replaces the traditional classroom model of drop-off / pick-up lessons for students only.  With Family Faith Formation, parents attend classes with their children in Grades K-6.   Separate classes are available for Grades 7 & Up.

Registration for Sacramental Prep for First Communion and Confirmation follows the same registration process as Family Faith Formation.

Thank you and we look forward to meeting you!

First Communion & Confirmation
Sacramental Information  
Preparation to celebrate the sacrament of First Communion or Confirmation is a 2-year process, typically starting in First Grade or Seventh Grade, with the sacrament then celebrated at the end of Second Grade or Eighth Grade.  Prior to celebrating one of these sacraments, a student should be continuously enrolled and regularly participating in a religious education program provided through a parish, a Catholic school or a USCCB-approved home-school program.  This past year of the pandemic was an unusual time for everyone with many families needing to remain at home.  If you think your child is scheduled to celebrate the Sacrament of First Communion or Confirmation in Spring 2022, but missed the 2020-21 year of religious ed that just concluded, your child will need to complete make-up sessions to remain on track.  Contact the Director of Faith Formation for additional information as soon as possible at 941-966-0807 or email:  TFlippo@olmc-osprey.org.  Thank you!
