What is Faith Formation?

2nd Grade Retreat

Family Faith Formation is whole-family catechesis for grades Pre-K to 6th.  This unique program blends classroom-style learning, family meetings, video series workshops, and at-home learning, so that both in the parish and at home parents and children have the opportunity to build relationships through discussion and reflection on the life of Jesus Christ, His teachings, and the Catholic Faith.

While participating in Family Faith Formation, families will focus on three principles, which when lived out fully, help us to know Jesus personally and embrace a life of peace and joy.  These principles are Catholic Practice, Catholic Culture, and Catholic Education.

Each month, families are expected to complete the following activities: 
2 Catholic Practice Activities (e.g., going to Mass and spending time in Adoration).
2 Catholic Culture Activities (e.g., celebrating a saint's feast day with dinner together and praying a Rosary for a friend).
3 Catholic Education Activities (e.g., completing 3 activities from the A Family of Faith workbook).

Upon registering,  you have a choice to be a fully at-home family, or to participate in community with other families in the parish.  It's up to you to decide what works best for your family.
