Grades K5-8
Please see above for registration information for the 2021-2022 school year!
We have two exciting programs for our 2021-2022 school year for our K5-8th graders!
Program #1: Sunday Night In Person Program
This classic program takes place Sunday evenings from 6:15-7:30 pm. It starts in mid-September and runs through April. Throughout the year, in addition to classroom learning in their grade level, children will participate in parent and student nights, activities with prayer partners (similar to a big/little buddies program), celebrate special holidays and feast days, serve their community, and practice different kinds of prayer. Please note that K5 is an optional class and is not required for Sacramental preparation. See the section above for a tentative schedule.
Program #2: Virtual Program
NEW THIS YEAR!
Students who choose this program will be expected to complete a chapter in their book every week and/or complete any online work that is needed at home. They will then have check ins with our formation staff or with a catechist twice per month on Wednesday nights via Google Meet where they will talk about the chapters they completed, do crafts, play learning games, pray, and more! Their check ins will be in twenty minute increments between 6:00 - 7:30 pm on Wednesday nights depending on their grade level. See the section above for a tentative schedule.
Please note that the old "At-Home" program no longer exists. We are excited to offer our K5-8th grade families these two exciting options! Please let Hannah know if you have any questions.
Grades 9-10
9th-10th graders will have in-person and online sessions, service work, retreats, and other work that they will be expected to complete as part of their formation. Their learning will take place in small groups, large groups, and individually. Participation in our 9th-10th grade program is required if your child wishes to be confirmed in the spring of their junior year. Please see the section above for a tentative schedule for next school year.

Grade 11 - Confirmation
Confirmation prep kicks off in the spring of students' sophomore year with sessions beginning in September of their junior year. Confirmation is celebrated during the Easter Season of their junior year. For more information on preparing for Confirmation, please contact the Associate Director of Faith Formation, Brian Mase, at maseb@hawb.org or 262-343-2370. Please visit our Confirmation page to download forms for the current year.
Service Hours
All high school students - track service hours here: http://bit.ly/30GQJRK
Service has always been part of the culture here at Holy Angels, and our youth have always been a shining example of that culture, both locally and around the country with Mission Trips. To that end, we are adding a service component for our 9th and 10th graders in Faith Formation.
Currently, our 11th graders perform 40 hours of service during their Confirmation prep year. Going forward, those 40 hours will be increased to 45 hours and spread out among 9th-11th grades, averaging out to 15 hours of service per year for our incoming 9th graders. This will allow us to extend service opportunities to all of our high school students and to continue living out our culture of service.
To start this process, and to keep some continuity from previous years, the number of hours each student will be responsible for are as follows:
When we learn of service opportunities here at Holy Angels, we will advertise them via Flocknote along with information on how to sign up for that particular event. We would also encourage you to seek out opportunities beyond our parish as well; each student will be responsible for completing service hours at Holy Angels AND in the community outside the parish. Hours you have served earlier this summer will count toward your total; simply track them with the above link.
If you have any questions, please contact Brian at maseb@hawb.org or 262-343-2370. We want to thank you in advance for volunteering your time and continuing the culture of service that thrives here at Holy Angels!
