The mission of St. Bruno’s Child Ministry Program is to support and aid parents in their child’s religious education.  We try to work together to provide the children with the best possible faith formation so that their faith becomes a real guiding force in their lives.  Faith Formation classes are not for the sole purpose of preparing students to receive the Sacraments.  Religious Education is an ongoing process of faith formation.  The purpose and goal is to have the students’ faith become a part of who they are.  The formative experience of religion classes complements, but does not replace the parents who are the first and primary catechists of their children.

Child Ministry Classes
Child Ministry classes are not for the sole purpose of preparing students to receive the Sacraments.  Religious Education is an ongoing process of faith formation.  The purpose and goal is to have the students’ faith become a part of who they are.  The formative experience of religion classes complements, but does not replace, the family worship at Mass which is the central celebration of our Catholic Faith.

Classes for Kindergarten through Grade 11 are held on the second and fourth Sundays of the month from September to April.  Class is from 8:45 AM – 11:30 AM. This includes the 10:30 Mass.  "Class includes Mass"
Curriculum
We use the Sadlier Series, We Believe.  The Scope and Sequence contains a spiral, integrated, thematic curriculum through each grade level.  The chapters contain faith statements, catechism connections, scripture, saints, devotions and parent suggestions.  For a more complete description of the texts, please see www.sadlier.com and www.webelieveweb.com

Favorite Prayer
Everything begins with prayer.  This prayer is not
passive but helps us become sowers of God’s peace.
The fruit of silence is prayer.
The fruit of prayer is faith.
The fruit of faith is love.
The fruit of love is service.
The fruit of service is peace.


We can do no great things-
Only small things with love.
--- Mother Teresa
