Family of Faith CatechesisAll of St. Francis' Children Faith Formation will participate in "Family of Faith Catechesis". As families are the basic building blocks of society, St. Francis wants to support their formation since this is where we first learn about God and learn to integrate our Catholic identity into our lives. Since parents are the constant in the lives of their children, it is sensible to include parents in the faith formation of their children empowering them to be spiritual leaders in their Domestic Church.
BENEFITS
- Children learn the Catholic Faith and live it in the home.
- Strengthens bond of love and faith between parents and children.
- Provides language for discussion of faith matters in the family and in life, especially as the child grows older.
- Parents continue to grow and develop an authentic Catholic life of faith.
- Family appreciation of all that the Church offers, including Holy Mass.
- Flexibility for parents and catechists alike.
- Children witness their parents engaging with the Faith as they collaborate on monthly lessons.
HOW WILL THIS WORK?
- The first meeting of the month will be a workshop for parents where they will learn about the topics to be covered throughout the month and how to engage their child(ren) in faith and life.
- The second meeting of the month will be a family workshop where parents will work with their children in discussion and activities that involve the whole family-- each family will work together as a group, with support and supplies available for the discussion and activities.
- Both meetings are mandatory.
- Advisor support and/or prayer support will be available for parents whenever needed.
WHAT IS THE COST?
St. Francis values the formation of its parishioners, both young and old. We feel it is important that formation is easily accessible for all. Therefore, there is no cost to register for Faith Formation at St. Francis. Donations are always appreciated, but not expected.I WANT MY CHILD TO RECEIVE HIS/HER FIRST COMMUNION.
