Family Circles, Foundations & Family Mass

Family Circles

​Faith is a gift from God. It is knowledge born of love. And who better to teach children that knowledge born of love than their parents! Family Circles is a family based faith formation program where parents commit to spending 24 hours each year instructing, modeling, guiding, and sharing lessons of faith with their children. The program starts in October and ends in May.
 
There are two options for this program:
Family Circle: individual families commit to teaching the faith to their children through regular and intentional family friendly formation sessions and activities. The Faith Formation office will provide materials for faith formation at home including Finding God resources and other lesson guides. 

Neighborhood Circle: several parish families team together to conduct lessons and intergenerational activities.  Support is available for developing lessons, attaining resources, teaching materials, managing group dynamics and other materials. 
 
Information Sessions & Meetings
All families are required to attend one of our in-person family information sessions on August 30 at 7:00pm.  
This session outlines the Circle structure, objectives, safety procedures, best practices, commitment, and reporting system.

Foundations & Family Mass

​Our Foundations Program has two parts. First, there is a  monthly Faith Formation lesson at the parish for all children in the program. Catechists will meet with students during this lesson. These in-person sessions will take place the first Saturday of the month  beginning October 1st and and ending in May. The in-person session will be immediately followed by a  Family Mass. The second part of the Foundations Program takes place at home. Parents teach weekly lessons at home with monthly support from our parish catechists. Students will  also meet with their catechists through Zoom three times during the month.
