    Catechetical Mission Statement


    Our mission is to foster and nurture the faith of our parish children in a lifelong journey with our Catholic Community.

       
     
    Children's Faith Formation
    Hours:
    Sundays from 9:15am-10:15am

    Ages :
    Classes are offered to children ranging from K through 5th grade. 

    Location:

    Our Lady of the Rosary - 3233 Cowper St, Palo Alto.

    Children's Catechumenate
    The Children's Catechumenate, known as (RCIA for Children) enables children in grades 3 through 12 to enter into a relationship with Jesus and share in the life of their identity as Christians through the Rite of the Catholic Church.  These classes are for those older children who have not been baptized or who have been baptized but who are still in need of their 1st Communion & 1st Reconciliation.

    Classes meet on Sunday mornings September  - June.
    There will be faith formation orientation meeting Sunday September 18th, with the first regular session of faith formation taking place the Sunday after, September 25. 



    The Diocese of San Jose follows the Santa Clara COVID protocols for all sessions- The Diocese of San Jose
