Faith Formation Families are invited and encouraged to register for the upcoming 2025-2026 Program beginning April 5th to take advantage of the Early Bird Discount.
This coming year we are blessed to include Theology of the Body (TOB)by Pope Saint John Paul II as part of an initiative from the Diocese to remind us of the dignity of the human person.
To learn more about this magnificent theology consider attending the sessions by Father Ken & Deacon Scott this Lent following the 11 AM Mass on Sundays.
Registration will be on paper and will begin on the weekend of April 5/6.
Cost is $150 for one child, $175 for two children, and $200 for three or more children. This years cost reflects the addition of new supplies needed to support the TOB curriculum.
EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT – Take $50 off the above rates if you register your children by the April 27th deadline.
By registering early you save money and it greatly assists us in our planning for the upcoming school year. Thank you!
Additionally the Sacramental Fees for First Communion Class is $30 and for Confirmation Class is $60 this year.
IN PERSON REGISTRATION DATES – April 5, 6, 26 and 27 in the narthex before and after the weekend Masses.
Parents may also mail in the registration to the office 1 Peter Drive Mechanicsburg, PA 17050 to Deacon Scott Root’s attention.
Checks are made payable to St. Katharine Drexel Church. Please put “Faith Formation” in the memo line.
Payments are to be made in full by June 30, 2025.
Any payments sent in after the 30th incur a late fee of $50.
Families who are new to the parish do not incur a late fee if they register after the June 30th deadline.
Finally, out of fairness to all families, we cannot place your child(ren) in a classroom until all fees are paid in full. In cases of financial hardship, please contact Deacon Scott Root at rootscott@skdparish.com. All information discussed is held in strictest confidence.
