PROGRAM INFORMATION
Many students can get "off-schedule" with celebrating their first Sacraments for any number of reasons. That's where Catch Up on Sacramental Preparation (CUSP) comes in! CUSP is a year-long faith formation experience for students grades 3-12 who need to "catch up" on celebrating one or more of their first Sacraments - particularly Confession, Communion, and Confirmation.
However, CUSP is not just for students; CUSP is for the entire family!
(CUSP for High School students - CLICK HERE) Similar to our First Communion program, CUSP focuses on the family as the center of the student's Catholic catechism. Once a month, parents of all students participating in CUSP will meet with Fernando & T.J. to discuss the month's subject material and answer any questions they may have. After that, the family will read and work through their monthly assignments together so that the whole family is growing together in their faith in Jesus Christ! Students will also participate in periodic interviews with Fernando & T.J. to assess how they are progressing in their pedagogy and answer any questions with which they may be struggling.
CUSP uses Sophia Institute's Family of Faith as its curriculum for the year, and focuses both on building knowledge of faith and community within the Church. If you have a student who is in need of preparing for sacraments later than normally prescribed, please consider participating in Catch Up on Sacramental Preparation!
