St. Martha Faith Formation Registration 2024 – 2025
It’s registration time! Our registration period has changed this year in the hope that we can reach more parents while children are currently attending classes. You will notice that the registration looks a little different this year, so please make sure you receive a confirmation email indicating that your child is registered for the upcoming Faith Formation year. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please reach out to our Faith Formation Registration Coordinator, Michelle DeLorenzo at [email protected].
Registration will start today, Monday, April 8th through Tuesday, April 30th. You can register all your children together and pay through the St. Martha PayPal account. You do not need a PayPal account to register. Do not wait to register. There will be a $20 per child late fee added to the registration fee after April 30th.
Registration is not complete until we have received your payment in full, or payment arrangements have been made with our office. Important! If you did NOT receive a confirmation email telling you that your registration was complete, you have not completed the registration process with payment. We will not see that registration on our end to be able to contact you as we have in the past.
As always, if for any financial reason you are unable to pay the registration fee at the time of registration, please contact Michelle DeLorenzo ([email protected]) prior to starting your child’s registration to discuss payment options. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Baptismal Certificates
For any child entering Grade 1 or any child NEW to our program, registration will not be complete until a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate is received. If they were baptized at St. Martha or St. Mary parishes, we will not need a copy of that certificate. Please email a copy to [email protected].

Middle School and High School (Confirmation 1 & 2)
Many of you have heard that the Archdiocese of Boston has made the decision to change the age of Confirmation from 10th grade to 8th grade. The change will be phased in slowly over the next few years. Our Confirmation program will continue to be a TWO-year program. As a result, for the 2024 – 2025 Faith Formation program (2023 – 2024 grades 7 & 8) will BOTH transition to Confirmation 1. In addition, those students entering 7th grade in the fall of 2024 will also be enrolled in Confirmation 1.
Those students that were enrolled in the Confirmation 1 program for the 2023 – 2024 year (grade 9) will transition to Confirmation 2 and will receive the sacrament of Confirmation in the spring of 2025.
NOTE: If your child is attending a Catholic Middle or High School, they do not need to attend our Confirmation 1 program. They will need to attend our Confirmation 2 program to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. Please contact our Faith Formation office at 508-384-3373 or respond to this email to inform us of your child’s name, grade and school.
These classes will all be held on Sunday evenings. More detailed information will be sent out as we get closer to the start of the new Faith Formation year.
