Program Overview
St. Bart’s Growing In Faith Together (G.I.F.T.) Faith Formation program serves families with children in preschool- grade 5. We are interested in helping parents and their children grow in their faith by sharing resources, activities, and experiences that will provide a foundation to live as life-long disciples. We start the new school year with an Opening Kick-off Service project – making meat & cheese sandwiches for the Sandwich Project of MN. The event is open to ALL parish and school families and takes place Sunday, September 28, 2025, 11:30am in the gym. Sign-up to bring supplies.
Weekly programming begins October 5, and concludes April 26, 2026, and will include additional large group events and service projects
Registration for the 2026-2027 school year opens in August of 2026
