This program is an ongoing faith formation process(religious education)

for familieswith children in grades K – 6. Middle and High school programs areoffered through our Youth Ministry Office.  

The Church recognizes parents as the primary educators of their children. It is ourresponsibility as Church and community to help parents in this task. Therefore we offer a family program for faith formation and sacramental preparation.

 Here is what this process looks like:

  Family Home study:  

Age and grade appropriate materials are available for use at home. Parents can choose from a lectionary based magazine format curriculum (Pflaum  FaithFormation Program) or a standard workbook format using a spiral learning process (Faith First fromLiturgical Press Publications).   

   

Family Gatherings:   

Once a month we gather as families to learn more about various topics of faith. In the past we have highlighted Saints, Advent, the Nativity, Lent, the parables and miricles of Jesus and many more. The format includes peer breakout sessions (parents too!), hands on learning, family activities, prayer, music, occasional guest speakers, and the secret ingrediant - fun! Children and parents alike have the opportunity to meet new friends and families and learn more about their faith. Sessions are held on Sunday mornings from 10:45 am - 12:00 pm.  

Liturgical Celebrations:   

Families are encouraged to attend mas ona regular basis and will be invited to participate in occasional blessings and liturgical rites at Mass. Dates and times are including in the Family Catechesis calendar.  

    

Registration for the 2010 - 11 School Year begins Aug. 1, 2010
