Family Faith Formation

Family Faith Formation engages the entire family together in the faith formation process to reflect on the weekly Gospel alive in their daily lives. Family faith Formation connects all the people that live together as a family including, parents/guardians, grandparents, young adults, children, or whomever. Family Faith Formation empowers families to come together to share and learn about their faith. It is an hour and a half a week to turn off the TV, power off the cell phones, exit the internet, and speak with the people you love about the purpose of life and the presence of God.

Our brochure explains the process in additional detail.

All parish families are encouraged to participate in the weekly Gospel reflections and attend the seasonal potluck dinners. In order to ensure that we have adequate materials we ask that you complete a registration form . There is currently no charge for the basic materials.

Registration is required for any child between Kindergarten and Grade 8 who are enrolled in Family Faith Formation as their primary faith formation program. Tuition is charged at the normal rate and covers the cost for additional materials and administrative fees.
