Faith Formation Goals

Program Options

Family Faith Formation Program or Grade Level Program 

Family Faith Formation Program - In this program, parents and children in grades K-8 attend a two hour monthly gathering. Sessions begin with lunch. Families may then stay together for an activity or children and adults may be separated. Parents are responsible for teaching their children at home during the intervening weeks. Textbooks and parent materials organized by themes enable parents with more than one child to have one session per week with the entire family focused on the same topic. This program requires time and commitment by both parents and children, so it’s not for everyone. However, it may be just the thing for your family!

Grade Level Program – In this program, groups of 10-12 children in the same grade are taught weekly by a catechist. Classes for ALL 8 grades are offered during each time frame provided there are at least 6 children per class and a Catechist to teach it.
