Corpus Christi offers a comprehensive homeschool program for students in Kindergarten through the Eighth Grade. For the upcoming 2021-2022 school year, we will be introducing, to grades one through eight, a new homeschool faith formation series: “The Faith and Life at Home (Our Catholic Faith Delivered) Program.” This program is user friendly and fully covers all of the tenets of the Catholic faith. No textbooks are necessary as each lesson is fully and easily accessible online.
Each month, students will be assigned online chapters, along with supplemental materials, that are to be completed by the end of the assigned month. Mrs. Parry will also facilitate Zoom meetings for Sacramental preparation, special lessons, etc.
The Kindergarten students will continue using textbooks, with their completed assignments emailed to Mrs. Parry.
Families will receive an email containing additional instructions once registered for Homeschool Faith Formation.
Please contact Mrs Parry for Availability

The Sign of the Cross (Kindergarten/Grade 1)
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Our Father (Kindergarten/Grade 1)
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary (Grade 1)
Hail Mary, full of grace! the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory Be (Grade 1)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Prayer Before Meals (Grade 1)
Bless us, O Lord, and these Your gifts which we are about to receive from Your bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer After Meals (Grade 2)
We give You thanks, almighty God, for all Your goodness. You live and reign now and forever. Amen
Apostles Creed (Grade 3)
I believe in God the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose from the dead. He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty. From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Guardian Angel Prayer (Grade 4)
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
To whom His love commits me here,
Ever this day, be at my side, To light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit (Grade 5)
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of Your Love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the earth. O God, Who does instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us by the same Holy Spirit, a love and relish of what is right and just, and a constant enjoyment of His comforts. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hail, Holy Queen (Grade 6)
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy; Hail our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in the valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us.
And after this show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God;
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
The Memorare (Grade 7)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
That never was it known
That anyone who fled to thy protection,
Implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
Despise not my petitions,
But in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Nicene Creed (Grade 8)
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and His kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the Prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
