Wednesday Night Religious Education (WNRE) and Family Formation is for grades K-8.

Family Formation is held on the first Wednesday of the month at St. Michael and the first Saturday of the month at St. Thomas.  Choose the parish that best suits your needs. The same information will be presented at both parishes. Each session begins with Mass at 6:00 pm (see schedule below). While Mass is not required, we do hope that you can take advantage of this. Life is very busy, and we hope that this will give families a chance to slow down and at least spend some time in prayer. Dinner is served to all WNRE families immediately after Mass.  At 7:00 p.m., the children go with the catechists to learn about the lesson, and the parents stay with either Fr. Aaron or Fr. Kai to learn what they will be teaching their children during that month. 

Fee for Family Formation:  $80 per family.  This includes any child in grades K-7.  Fees are due by September 2, 2026.

Religious Education is for students planning to be Confirmed.  The evening begins with Mass at 6:00 p.m., dinner at 6:30 p.m., and class at 7:00 p.m.  If students are unable to attend Mass or dinner, they can be dropped off at the gym at 7:00 p.m.  These classes meet each Wednesday during the school year (see schedule below).  All students planning to be Confirmed in the spring are expected to attend class on Wednesday nights, even if they attend St. Michael Catholic School. 

Fee for Confirmation:  $40 per student.  Fees are due by September 2, 2026.

Registration is online and can be accessed through the links above. Fees can also be paid online through the links above. If you would prefer to pay by check or cash, please place your fee in a marked envelope in the collection basket at Mass or mail it to the Parish Office at 519 Jefferson Blvd., Greenfield, IN 46140.

No child is ever denied religious education because of an inability to pay fees. Please contact Fr. Aaron Jenkins or Jennifer Beyer if these fees are a hardship or if special arrangements need to be made. No additional fees are charged for the sacraments.
