We are delighted to partner with you and your family to offer a comprehensive faith formation program that will help your children grow in their love for God. Through engaging class work, age-appropriate curriculum, interactive activities, and dynamic discussions, your children will encounter our living God and will learn to put their faith into action.
 
Our Faith Formation program is divided into two age-based groups. 

Grades 1-6
For children in grades 1-6, we offer a weekly, age-based faith formation program that is based on the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies curriculum. Mrs. Maggie Hoagland, Director of Faith Formation for Children and a former “Teacher of the Year” in the Plainville School System, has taught as a catechist for more than 20 years and holds a Catechetical Certification in the New Evangelization.  Maggie has been fortunate to have made pilgrimages to Lourdes, Medjugorje, Rome, Krakow and the Holy Land.  Mrs. Hoagland provides innovative program support to the faith formation teachers so that all students receive an enriching faith-filled experience. 

Wrentham: If your family is registered at St. Mary Parish in Wrentham, your children will attend faith formation in assigned classrooms located in either the church or rectory. Children in grades 1-5 will meet Monday or Wednesday afternoon each week, and students in grade 6 meet on Wednesday evenings. (Schedule Grades 1-6)

Plainville: If your family is registered at St. Martha Parish in Plainville, your children in Grades 1-5 will attend faith formation immediately after school on Tuesdays from 3:15-4:15pm in school classrooms at either their Jackson School (Grades 1-3) or Wood School (Grades 4-5) location.  Our 6th graders meet on Tuesday evenings in the St. Martha Parish Hall from 6:30-7:30pm. (Schedule Grades 1-6)

Grades 7-8 (Pre-Confirmation) and Grades 9-10 (Confirmation)
We are thrilled to offer our middle school and high school youth programs as collaborative faith-filled experiences. Students from Plainville and Wrentham parishes worship together at the 5:00 pm Mass on designated Sundays (MS Schedule, 9th Grade Schedule, 10th Grade Schedule) and then meet together for pizza and topic-focused presentations followed by interactive discussions in small groups. Under the direction of Mr. Robert Collins, a history teacher in the North Attleboro School System with a Master's in Pastoral Ministry and nearly 20 years experience as a youth minister, the two-year Pre-Confirmation program and the two-year Confirmation program help our young adults prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Experiences such as retreats, service projects, and group activities unite the students more firmly with the Catholic Church teachings in order to be more securely allianced with Christ and ready to defend their faith and spread it in word and deed.
