In order to process a child’s registration, the person turning in the registration form must be able to answer “yes” to the following questions at the time of registration:
Am I the parent or legal guardian of the child I am trying to register?
Do I have a driver license or other legal ID to present at time of registration?
Has my child been baptized?
If yes, do I have a Newly Issued Baptismal Certificate from the child’s Church of Baptism with me? (If baptism was received at Our Lady of the Lake no baptismal certificate is needed)
If no, do I have a copy of the child’s birth certificate with me?
Do I have the full registration payment with me? (we accept cash, check, credit or debit cards
If you are not currently a registered member of Our Lady of the Lake parish, please be sure to register now! Families must be registered members of the parish for a minimum of six months before enrolling students for Faith Formation classes to avoid paying a non-parishioner fee.

A Note from the Diocese of Dallas on Children’s Sacraments and Religious Education:
Please be aware that only a parent or legal guardian may arrange for the sacraments, or religious education, of a minor child. It must be confirmed that any person registering a minor child for continuing religious education, or sacramental preparation, has the legal authority to do so. If that adult’s name is not reflected on the child’s birth certificate, or in the case of an already baptized minor child, on the baptismal certificate, the person must provide the proper documentation that shows he/she has the legal right to arrange for the spiritual needs of this child.
Tuesday: 9:00 am - 12:30 pm Or by appointment ** All Parish offices are closed daily for lunch from 12:30-1:30pm
The faith development of a child is a journey shared between families and the parish community. Our Catholic Church believes parents are the primary educators of their children. The Children's Faith Formation department at Our Lady of the Lake seeks to support parents in this lifelong journey of faith formation by providing catechetical instruction in scripture, doctrine, prayer and worship. We also assist in preparing children for their sacraments, with the hope of fostering personal and spiritual growth. With this is mind, and in keeping with our mission to know, love, serve, and worship the Lord together so that we will love one another, as Christ loves us, we have several class sessions available for Children's Faith Formation. The class sessions listed below are applicable for children that have already received Baptism in a Roman Catholic Church. If your child is already six years old, and has not received the Sacrament of Baptism in a Roman Catholic Church, please click on RCIC (left side of this page at top) for details on that program.
Sacramental Preparation for First Holy Communion is a two consecuative year process, which must be completed before the end of sixth grade. Any child not able to complete two consecuative years in the K-6 grade program
will receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion within the Youth Ministry program (7-12 grade).
The Faith Formation program cannnot function without our wonderful adult volunteers. If you are an adult, willing to share your time and talent with the children in our program , please contact Sara Campbell (English only) at 972-961-9384 or pcl@ourladyrockwall.org or Martha Robison (Bilingual) at 972-961-9383 or ffadmin@ourladyrockwall.org.
