Restore * Renew * Proclaim
the Hope that is Christ
The goal of this diocesan initiative is to make lifelong faith formation a priority and a reality in all our parishes.
Restore: The natural sequence of the Sacraments of Initiation: Infant Baptism, then Confirmation and First Eucharist in 3rd Grade
Renew: Strengthen our youth ministry and adult faith formation processes
Proclaim: At the heart of all this is a desire to form disciples of all ages.
We will have a brief overview of the initiative after the 9:30 mass on September 17th for those who missed the information sessions on August 15th.
Nothing will change this year! The diocese has designated the 2017-2018 academic year as a time to pray and prepare. If you would like to join the Faith Formation Team while we create our Catechetical Plan, contact the office for more information.

"At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Son from the Father…who suffered and died for us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever.” (Catechism paragraph 462).
Everything we teach as catechists comes back to this essential point of the personhood of Christ and our relationship with Him. It is not our teachings we teach, it is the teachings of Christ that are rooted in the Gospels.
Most importantly, the Faith is first instilled and passed on in the home by parents, who by nature have the primary role as educators and teachers of the faith. In the home children are formed in virtue and weekly Sunday mass and prayer is a priority.
Class attendance and participation is important and expected, especially during sacramental years. Thank you for committing to the faith formation program. Your continued efforts and prayers are much appreciated...God Bless!
