Registration for 2022-2023 Lifelong Faith Formation is now open! Our parish Faith Formation program is for families with any children between the ages of 3-18, NOT just those preparing to receive Sacraments. Students and adults alike will gather together to encounter Jesus Christ, build community, pray together, and deepen our faith. You’ll find most of the logistical details below including session dates below. In lieu of a long explanation here, I’d like to ask that ALL parents make every effort to be at our first session on September 11, 4pm. See you then!
Catechesis Sunday: These are the Sundays listed on the schedule. Sessions on those dates are at 4pm (unless otherwise noted) and are attended by parents along with their children age PreK-8th grade. Sessions include lessons, games, activities, etc.
Spiritual activities and/or Liturgical Events: Throughout the year there will be a number of liturgical events or other activities to incorporate into your life of faith together at home.
High School Youth Group: Our youth group, Radix, is for ALL high schoolers. These gatherings are to hang out with likeminded peers, pray, and discuss the Truths of our faith through Bible Study, catechesis, and dialogue. Contingent upon registrations, Radix will meet on the same dates, AFTER Mass on Sunday night, 7pm. Contact Ben with any questions.
************************************************
Below you will find our full schedule of sessions for the entire year. Please use this schedule to mark your calendars as a matter of priority over and above anything that may come up later. If you see any conflicts with important events already on your schedule, please let us know immediately. Obviously, emergencies can come up and are considered excused absences (illness, etc.); please simply let us know about these as soon as you’re able so that we can keep our volunteers in the know. Infrequent Mass attendance, lack of incorporation of the Faith, and unexcused absences (sports, etc.) directly impact our disposition to faithfully receive Sacraments and thus may necessitate additional time of preparation in order to be properly disposed for the reception of Sacraments.
Not only is there much for us to gain through these commitments, there is also much we have to offer one another both materially and spiritually! Never underestimate the power of your own testimony to the Gospel, the value of your insights as an individual and as a family, nor the significance of what you bring to the table as part of this community, “…not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another…” (Heb. 10:25)
