Enlighten with thy holy Wisdom those who teach and those who learn, that,
rejoicing in the knowledge of thy Truth, they may worship thee and serve thee
from generation to generation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Sunday School program at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham offers students an opportunity to gain a better understanding of their Catholic faith and traditions. The goal of each class is to go beyond mere content knowledge. Rather, inspired by Our Lady, we seek to ponder these mysteries in our hearts, and so come to a deeper and richer encounter with our Lord and his Church.

This year we are offering two times for Children's Faith Formation
or Sunday School. Our usual 9:45-10:45 am offering and
a new earlier time from 8:15-9:15 am.
These times have been designed so that our families have alternatives to attend a morning mass at the Cathedral.
Please note that you need to register each child individually in their class, then register your family. Classes are listed by age and class name and capped at 20 students. Once we reach that limit you will have to register for the 8:15 CFF time. There will be no exceptions.
The cost of the program for the program year is as follows:
$75 for one child,
$100 for two children, and
$150 for three or more children.
Scholarships are available. Please contact us for more information.
