6 ^th Grade Formation utilizes the Faith and Life Series and is devoted to the Ten Commandments and the Mass.  Sixth graders are making the transition from childhood to adulthood.  This period of transition is also a time when they are able to understand the Faith more clearly and make it truly their own.  The students are able to think independently and to participate in reasoned discussion.  At this turning point in their lives, the students need to be guided to follow Christ with their whole mind and will.  Thus, instructing the students in the formation of conscience and in the liturgical life of the Church is vitally important.
