Greetings Friends in Christ,
We have been busily working on our Faith Formation program for the upcoming year for our youth and adults. We’re hoping this helps you and your children develop better personal relationships with Christ and your Catholic faith.
The weekly, in-person program will begin on Sunday, October 15, 2023, for our children and for our adults.
The anticipated schedule each week will be:
9:00-10:15 am Each group participates in their appropriate sessions starting promptly at 9 am.
10:15-10:30 am Parents collect their children from the Faith Formation building.
10:30 am Mass at St. Anthony Church. We encourage families to attend 10:30 am Mass together.

We are always in need of teachers for the children and adult programs. Please prayerfully consider sharing your faith with others. You don’t have to be a theologian or scholar! Being enthusiastic to share your faith is a big part of it. The teaching materials and support are provided. If you haven't taken the course already, please register for the VIRTUS "Protecting God's Children" class being offered on Wednesday evening, September 13, from 6-9pm in the Faith Formation building in Shirley by registering at www.VIRTUSonline.org. Parents and teachers alike can benefit from this course. If you have any questions or wish to be on the Faith Formation teaching team, please contact Marianne Cooper at faith formation@ nashobacatholic.org or call 978-772-0727.
Sincerely in Christ,
Father Joe Marianne Cooper, Faith Formation Coordinator
