Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we look forward with hope to a new year of growing in faith together, we are pleased to announce that Registration for the new Faith Formation year will begin on:

Monday, May 4, 2026,

and will continue through

Saturday, May 30, 2026.

A second registration period will be held from Monday,

August 17, 2026,

through

September 30, 2026.

Registration forms will be available beginning the weekend of May 2, 2026. Forms can be found at the

back of the church, in the Parish Office, and on our website: www.saintjosephtheworker.net.

Registration Office Hours:

• Monday: 9:30 AM – 12:45 PM

• Tuesday: 9:30 AM – 12:45 PM

Please note that the Faith Formation Office will be closed for the summer beginning Saturday, June 1,

and will reopen on Monday, August 17, 2026.

It is especially important that all current Level 7 students complete their registrations during the

month of May so that we can begin the process of requesting to the Office of the Bishop for a Fall

Confirmation, as well as set the dates for the Confirmation Retreat and Service Projects.

Classes for the 2026–2027 Faith Formation Year will begin on the following days:

• Level 8: Monday, September 14, 2026, from 6:30 PM – 7:45 PM

• Levels 1–5: Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 9:30 AM – 10:45 AM

A parent MUST attend the first-class session with their child.

May the Lord continue to bless your families and guide our children as they grow in faith. Thank you

for your cooperation, your commitment, and your continued support of our parish community.

In Christ’s peace,

Cassandra Pinckney-Oudkerk

Faith Formation director
