Formation
*NEW* Formation For The Entire Family!
Why Did We Decide To Change Faith Formation?
Our current Faith Formation only focuses on families with young children who attend public school. However, the Catechism of the Catholic Church focuses on continuous development in faith for everyone. Formation should be a lifelong process for all believers (CCC 5) and education of conscience requires continuous formation to ensure moral maturity throughout life. (CCC 1783)
We believe that this new format will enable everyone in our church and school family to join together
on this journey to know our faith and Christ deeper. Although we are all at a different place in our faith journey, we can all walk together with encouragement and support for each other. This will also build a strong faith community for all to belong.
What Will This Look Like?
