FUEL is our mainstream formal formation for preschool through grade 8.

About

We offer home study or in-person formation options in Fuel. The in-person option is for parent and child.

  • Last year your child completed a year of formation at St. Max, another Catholic parish, or was homeschooled with a Catholic curriculum.

Note: Ongoing participation in formal formation (first grade and up) is required for the celebration of the sacraments.
