“Raising children calls for an orderly process of handing on the faith. This is made difficult by current lifestyles, work schedules and the complexity of today’s world, where many people keep up a frenetic pace just to survive. Even so, the home must continue to be the place where we learn to appreciate the meaning and beauty of the faith, to pray and to serve our neighbor. Family catechesis is of great assistance as an effective method in training young parents to be aware of their mission as the evangelizers of their own family.”
(Pope Francis, Amoris Laetitia #287)
Family Faith Formation is an alternative to traditional religious education that encourages and equips parents to teach their children the faith. By attending two meetings a month, parents who participate receive everything they need to teach their children about the Catholic Faith at home. Our program enables Catholic parents to assume their primary role as educators of their children. We help parents deepen their own understanding of the faith and provide them with the tools and resources they need to instill in their children a love of Christ and His Church. Most importantly, we provide parents with a detailed picture of what an authentic and vibrant Catholic family looks like, as well as the tools to implement this life in their home.
Family Faith Formation Program Overview * There is a general theme throughout the whole year that all our families will learn together.
* Parents will gather the first Tuesday of each month (September-May) to learn everything necessary to fulfill their role as the primary educators of their children.
* Parents then teach their children at home two lessons with the easy-to-use parent guide and student activity books.
* On the fourth Sunday of the month (September-May), all the families will gather together after the 9:30am Mass for activities ranging from picnics and feast day celebrations to prayer groups and Eucharistic Adoration.
