Families and Faith is a family-based catechesis program that empowers parents to teach the faith to their children. Parents and children attend a monthly workshop led by catechists from the parish. Then, parents teach the remaining lessons at home to their children through age-appropriate readings, games, crafts and other activities with materials provided by the program. This program is great for busy famlies that like the convenience of teaching at their own pace/schedule and larger families with kids in multiple grades.
Once a month, Families and Faith participants celebrate Mass together at 10am, then directly after Mass attend a workshop until 12:15pm. Throughout the remainder of the month, families will spend an additional 1 to 1.5 hours on parent-led lessons at home. Participating in this program will fulfill your child's faith formation requirements for the year; unless they are in Grade 2, in which case additional at-home or in-person teaching is required to cover sacramental preparation.
This program is for families with children in grades 1 thorugh 7. Younger siblings are welcome to attend.
