Family Faith Formation
- In the Family Faith Formation program adults and children meet together with catechist
leaders and other families to practice their faith, share beliefs, explore how to make
God an everyday part of life. This format has the ability to keep children engaged long
after they receive their sacraments.
- The Sunday morning program is primarily focused on children in lower grades
beginning in 1st grade. Once a month, typically the first Sunday of the month, we have
our traditional faith formation session. Parents and children will join together for
opening and closing prayer. Children will attend class by grade. Parents will meet in
small groups, led by Sharon Chipman, for reflection on the daily readings in order to
allow them to enter more deeply into their week ahead.
- Three times through the year we will have an additional session where families will join
together in celebration of our liturgical seasons. The combination of instruction time and
outreach/social events will help to immerse our children in their faith through education,
prayer and community.
- All children are asked to attend 9:00 a.m. Mass and Children’s Liturgy of the Word. At
the end of Mass, families will be dismissed prior to the closing hymn. Please enjoy a
donut and coffee and proceed to the Meeting Rooms. Class will begin at 8:15 a.m.
