Dear Families,

My name is Patty McCarthy and I am the new Director of Catholic Formation at Lumen Christi Parish. I am thrilled to be here and filled with excitement and energy for what lies ahead.  I immediately felt aligned with your parish mission printed boldly on the entrance doors which greeted me on my first visit, “One family sharing in the love and light of Christ.” I bring with me a broad range of professional skills and life experiences and I am graced in knowing God has equipped me with a heart to lead others to Jesus through weaving our faith into the ordinary rhythms of family life. God makes the ordinary EXTRAORDINARY.

Registration can be done by following the link at the top of this page. If you are registering now, I ask that you contact Karen Bersch in the CF office at 262-512-8983 so we can make sure we are prepared for your child to begin classes.

Sunday morning class times have been adjusted slightly to allow families to attend either the 9:00am or 11:00am Mass together!

• Child Ministry classes for grade K4 – grade 5 meet Sundays 10:00 – 11:00 AM.

This includes special dismissals from 9:00 Mass to 10:00 formation in the school and then again from the school to 11:00 Mass.

• Catechists, high school leaders, and parents help with an orderly procession betwen the two buildings.

• Children attending classes only will follow an orderly drop off procedure using the car line routes from this past year.

• Middle and High School classes for grade 6 - 11 meet Sundays 6:00 – 7:30 PM.

The cost is $250 per child with a $750 maximum per family

I look forward to meeting all of you and accompanying your families on your faith journey together.

Peace, Patty McCarthy
