GROW

This program is rooted in the belief that participating in weekly Sunday Mass is central to developing the faith. All students are invited to participate in GROW (faith formation for grades K through 5) this coming year. We will meet once a month on Sunday mornings and then will have additional community activities and challenges during each month.

Registration
a. Please register your child/ren for the grade they will be in during the 2026-27 academic year.

b. PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD'S SACRAMENTAL INFORMATION (BAPTISM / FIRST COMMUNION DATE AND LOCATION) AVAILABLE WHEN REGISTERING. If your child was not baptized at Saint Rose, please have a copy of their Baptismal Certificate ready to upload. This will be so helpful to us! ***If you uploaded your child/ren's Baptismal Certificates last year, there is no need to re-upload!**

c. If you have an online giving account, it will ask you to login to pay. If you'd like to pay online and do not have an online giving account, it will require you to create one.

d. If you choose offline payment, you can pay by cash or check made out to Saint Rose of Lima with GROW in the memo, which can be mailed to or dropped off at the office, or placed in an envelope marked "GROW" and left with the Welcome Desk Ambassadors before or after a weekend Mass.

e. If your child is entering 6th-12th grade, please contact Ryan (rhamilton@syrdio.org) for information about registering for Saint Rose Youth Ministry.

First Sacraments 

  • First Sacraments is a two year Process for families registered at Saint Rose of Lima. 
  • In Year One (grade 1 or higher) - students attend Catholic School or GROW, and sign in each weekend for Mass. 
  • In Year Two (after year one preparation is complete) - students continue to attend Catholic School or GROW and sign in each weekend for Mass. Additionally, the student and a parent/guardian attend four direct preparation sessions. During Year Two, students will make their First Penance and receive their First Holy Communion.
