Family Faith Formation is an innovative faith formation program that aids and encourages parents as the primary teachers in faith formation. Parents/Guardians must attend all sessions with their children, with the exception of Confirmation Prep. Full parental responsibility in this spiritual growth include parental attendance along with their children at each month’s session of Family Faith Formation, inspiring and applauding the completion of home assignments, praying with your children, and faithful attendance at weekend mass. It is expected that children in first grade through the reception of Confirmation participate in yearly ongoing faith formation to ensure continuous, systematic, age-appropriate catechesis. Families have the option of attending a Sunday morning session or a Monday evening session. The earlier we receive your registration form the more likely we will be able to place your family in your desired session. The Eucharist is the source and summit of all Christian Faith. All families ARE expected to weekly attendance at Sunday Mass. Attendance at parish events is also very important to your family’s formation, especially in preparing for the Sacraments. Students preparing for the reception of a sacrament are required to attend additional sessions. For more information go to the Youth Sacraments page.
