Children’s Faith Formation (Preschool – Grade 5)
We’re excited to welcome your family to a vibrant year of growing in faith!
Our weekly Children’s Faith Formation program helps children in Preschool through 5th grade discover the love of Jesus and deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith—all in a fun, age-appropriate setting. Classes are held on Wednesdays from 5:30–7:00pm.
Whether your child is just beginning their faith journey or continuing to build on what they’ve learned, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.
Registration details can be found here or feel free to reach out to the Faith Formation Office at 515-440-1030 with any questions–we’d love to hear from you!

Classroom Sessions
We use the Spirit of Truth curriculum by Sophia Institute for Teachers, which presents the fullness of the Catholic faith with clarity and beauty. Each grade level is guided through Scripture, prayer, doctrine, and the lives of the saints with interactive lessons and meaningful activities that help children connect what they learn to their daily lives. Along the way, they grow in relationship with Jesus, learn how to live as disciples, and experience the richness of our Catholic tradition.
Classes meet September – May and are for children in Preschool through 5th grade.
Please note: Preschoolers must be at least 3 years old and potty trained by September 15, 2025.
Get Involved
Here at St. Francis, we are a community of disciples striving to accompany others on their journey with the Lord. This calling to share faith comes from our Baptism and from the love and joy that overflows in our own relationship with Jesus.
We EACH have a mission and a role to play. How might God be calling you to share your gifts in one of our programs?
