Family Faith Formation Information & Registration
“Family Catechesis…precedes, accompanies and enriches all other forms of catechesis. Thus, there cannot be too great an effort on the part of Christian parents to prepare for this ministry of being their own children’s catechists and to carry it out with tireless zeal.”
-Pope St. John Paul II, Catechesi Tradendae

Parents are called and empowered by Christ to fulfill their mission to proclaim the Gospel of Life and to help their children grow closer to Him and better understand God’s love for them. Our Family Faith Formation program centers on the importance of parents as their child’s primary catechists. We offer the most engaging and inspiring resources for families with children in Kindergarten through 6th grade and plan community gatherings for fellowship and experiential prayer.
Parents attend a Parent Formation Night the first Thursday of each month. These evenings provide guidance for the material to be covered at home that month and opportunity for personal spiritual growth with other parents. The whole family comes to a Family Community Meeting either one Thursday or Sunday each month where they can share what they’ve learned and grow in friendship with Christ and each other. Additionally, there will be opportunity to meet with other families to do lessons together on St. Joseph Workshop nights.
For our families of 7th and 8th graders we have Confirmation Preparation sessions on Wednesdays and Sundays, respectively. During these two years of preparation, the Confirmation Team presents candidates with a deeper understanding of their faith and journeys with them as they seek to deepen their discipleship in Christ. These sessions include prayer, teachings, small group sharing and testimonies of the Holy Spirit’s work in one’s life. Come Holy Spirit!
“Parents, you have been entrusted with a treasure of faith to pass on to your precious children with the support of the Church and other families! This year you will experience renewed joy in Christ as you nurture faith in the hearts of your children and grow in friendship with other families. We are here for you all along the way! God bless!” (Dominic Salamida and the Faith Formation Team)

Our Family Faith Formation program is designed to work with your busy schedules. The program involves a Parent Meeting on the first Thursday of the month where our Faith Formation team will guide you through the theme of the month. Then each family attends one other session each month where you participate in interactive activities as a family and as a community.
Athough in the early stages of formation, we are developing a Youth Ministry for our high school teenagers where they can continue to grow and strengthen their relationship with Jesus and their parish community.
