If you have a child in 1st or 2nd Grade who has not yet received First Holy Communion, this message is for you!

 

Our Faith Formation initiatives include sacrament preparation, and are intended to facilitate a natural sharing within the family between varying ages and places on the journey while still giving each person what they need to grow in faith. This includes parents and children, those who are preparing to receive sacraments for the first time and those who receive them regularly, those whose spiritual lives are rich and those whose spiritual lives are in need of enrichment! The materials we use include different activities for different age levels while focusing on the same theme. Our goal is NOT to have any burdensome "homework" outside of the meeting times, though there may be some suggested learning or activities to continue to deepen a lesson or establish a new habit. As a mother of seven, I appreciate that less can be more in a busy family, if the "less" is meaningful and focused.
 
We are a Community of Faith, and we learn our faith within the community; the family is the first community, and the place where the Faith is passed on most deeply, because Catholicism is a way of life and not just a subject to study! We live our lives of faith not just in the  pew but in the  family and the community. Gathering families together can help make faith relevant to our everyday lives and teach more than facts. This format makes learning about the faith personal and integrated into the fabric of daily life and daily relationships.
