Family Formation
Family Formation is a great opportunity for parents to fully embrace their role as the primary catechist of their children and grow as a whole family in faith. Parents will come in once a month for Parent’s Night and we will equip them with materials, lessons, and provide instruction on this month’s lessons. The next 3 weeks, parents will complete a lesson per week as a family at home. Family Formation allows the whole family to learn the same topic at the same time. Parents will be provided with lessons, materials needed for the lessons, and support to help teach their children. With this program, children in 5th grade and younger would not come in for any classes (except 2nd Graders – See Sacramental Preparation) and we would not have Sunday School offered this year either.
