WHAT IS A FAMILY OF FAITH?

This catechesis model invests in the faith development of families, giving parents the tools to support faith formation at home.

While parents attend monthly adult catechesis presentations, students participate in group activities with peers. 

Parents return home prepared to build upon the foundation received throughout the month supported by curriculum materials from Sophia Institute, the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and invitations to other faith building opportunities offered throughout the month.

Both parents & students attend monthly Faith Formation nights

All families seeking formation must enroll in Family of Faith. 

Applicable for families with students in grades Pre-K through 12th grade

ABOUT VOLUME III: LIFE IN CHRIST

This year focuses on the moral life and what it means to live the way God wants us to live. From the Ten Commandments to the Beatitudes to the Great Commandment, throughout salvation history, God has provided us with models for living virtuously. Ultimately, He sent us Christ Himself, who gives us the perfect model of holiness and calls us to live like Him and in Him.
