Online payment for Faith Formation

“Parents are the primary educators in the faith ... It is for this reason that the Christian community must give very special attention to parents. By means of personal contact, meetings, courses and also adult catechesis directed towards parents, the Christian community must help them assume their responsibility—which is particularly delicate today—of educating their children in the faith.” (GDC 255, 227)

Family Formation  K-7 is now a monthly session for children and parents at church.  At the monthly sessions, children gather with a teacher by grade while parents receive catechesis based on the monthly theme and guidance on the home lessons.  This program’s unique format can draw your family together through the enthusiastic faith of your children.  Its creativity and simple concepts can make learning fun, as each lesson is written at an elementary level but with adult-level instruction to guide and enhance your teaching.  Parents do not have to be experts in the Faith, just willing to devote about an hour a week to quality family time in sharing the Faith.
 
Understanding the busy schedules of today’s families, the weekly lessons at home can be adapted to your own family schedule.  The lessons will provide the backbone for your children’s spiritual formation in these formative years.  This comprehensive program not only engages young children but also has the potential to draw families together and equips parents to do a first-rate job in teaching the Catholic Faith to their children.
 
The Family Formation program is for families with children in first through seventh grade.  It follows a three-year liturgical cycle, is faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church, is driven by Sacred Scripture, and references the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  It covers all tenets of our Catholic Faith.

Our Confirmation preparation and RCIA for children will still follow a weekly model with parent components as well.
