Attention 2nd and 8th grade families!


The St. Charles Faith Formation Office sent out an email at the end of July with a link to register your child for our Sacramental Prep programs. If you would like your child to participate in this program for First Reconciliation/First Communion (2nd grade) or Confirmation (8th grade) and have not yet completed the registration form, please email Erin Fanning at efanning@stcharles-kettering for the link. If we do not hear from you, we will assume you do not wish your child to receive the grade appropriate sacraments this year.


8th grade families: please plan to attend the Confirmation Info meeting on either September 6 or September 7 at 7:00 pm in the church. Both the 8th grader who wishes to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in May of 2024 and a parent must attend the meeting. Questions? Please contact Erin Fanning at 937 434 9272

Sessions are beginning soon within our Kettering Catholic Community. If you would like to learn more about this process please contact Chris Kreger ckreger@stcharles-kettering.org or Joe Ollier, jollier@ascensionkettering.org.
