Faith Formation for Families and Children

 

Faith Formation for Children (PK-5th grade)

The program A Family of Faith follows a four-year cycle: one pillar of the Catechism is covered per year from September through May.  Parents are given a detailed picture of authentic and vibrant Catholic family life, the tools to implement this life in their home, and age-appropriate readings, games, crafts, and other activities to help them deepen among their children a love for Christ and His Church.

Each year is self-contained, and so families may join at any time in the cycle.  After four years, families will have been guided through the entirety of the Catechism and will have developed a broad understanding of the Church's teachings.  Families then cycle through the program again in order to deepen their knowledge and develop the habits needed for life-long spiritual growth.
