Overview

Welcome to our new Family Faith Formation Ministry, a journey of spiritual growth and enrichment centered around the Eucharist and the Sunday liturgy, and guided by the Holy Spirit. In a world filled with constant distractions, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Our program is designed to help you and your loved ones center your lives around the teachings of Christ, with the Eucharist as the focal point. Through our sessions we hope to strengthen the bonds of your family while deepening your relationship with God. These sessions will not only help you grow spiritually but also allow you to give back to our wider community. Our goal is not just to inform but to inspire, not just to teach but to transform.

 

·        Faith Formation in the Atrium Sessions: For children in elementary school (K-5). These sessions are rooted in a rich history of faith education and inspired by the timeless wisdom of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS). We invite you to embark on a journey that transcends traditional faith formation, a journey that promises to deepen your children’s connection with God in ways both profound and personal. 

 ·        Parent Sessions: Monthly parent sessions designed to help parents grow their faith and become stronger role models to the catholic faith within their own families. Parents are invited and encouraged to participate in these sessions taking place the first Sunday of each month.

 ·        Family Sessions: Monthly sessions taking place the last Sunday of each month bringing  families together as one community.
