Faith Formation
The goal of our Family Faith Formation is to help the whole family grow in faith and build community.
Each Faith Formation Sunday has 4 parts:
- Breakouts
- Breakouts are divided by grade for children in Prek4-High School while parents have their own breakout group.
- A Guide introduces the theme of the week through engaging discussion, games, and activities.
- Mass
- Celebrate Mass. Choose the team that best suits your families need, but please know that our 11:30 Mass is structured specifically with families in mind.
- Lunch & Learn
- The meal is prepared by our amazing SSJ cook team lead by Gary Dirker.
- This essential part of the day is where we wrap-up Faith Formation Sunday with announcements, upcoming parish events, and the next month's theme.
Our ministry also includes at-home catechesis with easy-to-follow lesson plans. For families that wish to complete these lessons at the parish, we provide space for families to work together in "huddles" using a community approach to catechesis.
