FAMILY FAITH FORMATION

FAMILY FAITH FORMATION

Welcome to Family Faith Formation! 

We are confident that you will find our programs educational and meaningful. Our innovative programs offer youth and their families a balanced approach to learn about their faith and an opportunity to live as active, committed members of the Catholic Church.


Week by week, our youth will be challenged to:

  • Grow in Knowledge as they are introduced to Scripture, Catholic Tradition, and the liturgical year.
  • Connect Faith with Their Experience through the process of presentation, reflection, and application. They come to relate their knowledge of the Catholic faith to their life experienced and commit themselves more deeply to the person and mission of Jesus Christ.
  • Practice the Skills of Discipleship by learning about their unique gifts and qualities and discovering opportunities to be disciples of Jesus Christ in their homes, schools and communities.
ALL FAMILY FAITH FORMATION CLASSES USE THE SAME FORM:


  • Faith Formation classes (Grades K-6)
  • First Reconciliation/First Eucharist Preparation (Grades 2 - 3)
  • First Reconciliation/First Communion Preparation (Grade 4 and above)
  • Confirmation Preparation (Grades 7 and above)

OVERVIEW OF OUR YOUTH PROGRAMS


FAMILY FAITH FORMATION FOR GRADES K-6

Come join families of the parish as we learn together and teach our children the Catholic faith. We meet each Tuesday from 6-7pm. The vision for Family Faith Formation is strong Catholic families in which children learn the joys of following Jesus Christ and the truths of the Catholic faith through the witness of their parents. Because parents have the primary responsibility for educating their children in the faith, all parents are asked to volunteer in some capacity.


FIRST RECONCILIATION/FIRST EUCHARIST

First Reconciliation/Eucharist is contained within Family Faith Formation. Please use the same form to register. We have two classes:

Grade 2-3 First Reconciliation/First Eucharist

Grade 4 and above First Reconciliation/First Eucharist

Class begin in September and will meet from 6-7 PM each Tuesday. An essential parent orientation meeting is included and will be held on Thursday, September 28 at 7:00 PM in the Parish Hall.

 

CONFIRMATION (GRADES 7 AND ABOVE)

Any youth in grade 7 or above is invited and encouraged to join formation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. There is an orientation on Sunday, October 1 at 12:15 PM in Lovett Hall. This is for both Parents and Confirmation students with Fr. Johnson. Classes begin in October, and will meet on Sundays. Confirmation is usually in early 2023. Confirmation students are also invited to our Youth Ministry program without cost.


YOUTH/TEEN MINISTRY (GRADES 7-12)

We are fallen people living in a fallen and broken world. We each have a God-sized hole inside of our hearts. Too often we try to fill that hole with worldly things. And while these things may bring us temporary joy, they can never truly satisfy us. We will always long for something more until we allow God to fill that God-sized hole. Teen Ministry group is designed to shape the spiritual growth and emotional resilience of our young people through lively discussions, videos and activities. The teens are encouraged to live the Gospel message of Jesus Christ and embody the values of Faith, Hope, and Love. Through participation, teens are able to deepen both their personal spirituality as well as their friendships with their peers. We meet 2-3 times a month on Sunday evenings 6:30pm – 8:00pm in the parish hall. Dinner and desserts are provided. All teens grades 7-12 are invited to participate.
