Family of Faith is our parish’s all-ages, lifelong faith formation program.  Family of Faith is one part (and a very important part) of the overall Christian formation experience in the parish, with a focus on the core teachings of the Catholic Faith.  Because faith is value-based learning that is practiced and passed down in church, in community and most especially in the home, the role of Family of Faith is to support the faith formation of all households in our parish.  Here’s how.

·   It’s systematic.  The curriculum for Family of Faith covers all the basics of the Catholic Faith over a 5-6 year cycle.

·   It’s for all ages. The learning and practicing process of faith formation never stops – it’s a lifelong process.  Worshiping, learning, discussing and practicing in a faith community facilitate that growth.

·   We learn together. At each all-ages Family of Faith session, everyone has the same basic teaching. Take-home materials are provided so families of all shapes and sizes may continue reflection and activities on the topic introduced at the session. This helps the members of a household in supporting one another in their faith development each month. 

The Family of Faith calendar for 2011-2012 includes -

·        6 monthly all-ages sessions on Sunday evenings which include a meal, an all-ages learning experience, and age-appropriate catechesis on a common topic.  This year’s all-ages topic is Eucharist (how it has evolved, the newest changes taking place and deepening our experience of the celebration) in coordination with the Hearts on Fire initiative. 

·        10 additional Sunday morning sessions for PreK to Grade 8 which focus on the weekly gospel. 

·        10 additional sessions for Grades 9-12 will be added this year on Sunday evenings.

We hope you and your family will come be a part of our parish “Family of Faith.”
