Family Faith Formation Registration
Family Faith Formation Registration
Dear Parents,
For all members of our families to know and live our beautiful Catholic Faith more deeply, we offer Family Faith Formation. The Church has emphasized that parents are the primary educators of their children. That includes choosing who educates your child- Catholic school, public school, charter school, homeschool, etc. It also means providing our children with the opportunity to learn other skills. As parents, we may not have the technical ability like playing the guitar to be able to teach our children, so we find someone else to fill that role. Yet God calls each of us to live our faith. So passing it on to our children depends less on educational expertise and more on journeying together, providing examples, and talking about how faith impacts our daily decisions.
We hope that Mass will be your primary focus. God designed us with a need to worship Him and at Mass, we encounter Jesus’ sacrifice represented to us so we can join our sacrifices to His. Participating in Sunday Mass every week meets the bare minimum to be Catholic. And yet it should be so much more!!
To grow in knowledge and community, we will ask your family to cover material at home and come to the parish for a Family Gathering once per month. On that Sunday, the expectation will be to worship at 9 a.m. Mass together and then go to the gym 10:10-11:10 a.m.
As the main component, we will build on the Biblical foundation of last year and focus on the Creed and how our beliefs impact our celebration of the sacraments, how we pray, and our moral life.
Families with children preparing for sacraments (typically 2nd and 8th grades) will have additional material to cover at home and extra events in which to participate at the parish to ensure readiness for these momentous occasions. We will continue to use Blessed in 2nd grade and Decision Point in 8th grade
We have a dedicated group of parishioners praying for our families. We invite you, as well, to pray regularly for this endeavor and that we accomplish God’s will.

Thank you for allowing us to journey with your family toward eternity.
