What is Multi-Generational Faith Formation?

We are using this term to describe formation in Catholic Christian discipleship that spans across all age groups. Each age group receives formation, tailored to age specific learning styles, in separate groups thoughout the week. Sometimes, the topics will concurr between different age groups. In other instances, the topics are more specialized for the needs of the age group.

Parents should reinforce what their child learns throughout the week to ensure their child's faith grows everyday of the year. Discussion & prayer time can happen anywhere, anytime. The car is a great place to talk about God. And of course, Mass attendance is essential to our Catholic Faith, no matter your child's age.

We encourage all of our parishioners to discuss questions and topics of faith community-wide. Please let us know how we can be of help to you & yours.

How can I be involved?

We trust that this is God's will for our parish and that the blessings and benefits flow beyond our church doors. We need YOU to help make this happen. You can be involved as a:

• participant
• catechist/small group facilitator
• nursery care
• food preparation
• dining preparation
• kitchen cleanup
• Mass Volunteer
• music participant
• prayer warrior
• and more...
• Keep an eye on the bulletin to find formation & volunteer opportunities through out the year. 

My high-schooler was a catechist aide last year. Can they continue in this ministry?

Yes. Youth flourish in different environments. If your family discerns that being an aide is the best way for the high-schooler to grow as a disciple of Jesus at this point in life, they should pursue that option. Other opportunities for high-school youth will be offered throughout the year, so they can take part in those. Our Youth are ALWAYS welcome & ENCOURAGED to volunteer as a volunteer at Mass.   

What about Home-Schoolers? Can we instruct our children at home?

Yes. Parents have the moral obligation to be the primary educators of their children and the moral right to religious freedom. Pastors and their representatives support parents in the systematic, comprehensive, faithful catechesis of their children. Pastors have principal practical authority over the administration of the sacraments. For this reason, pastors are to judge the eligibility and proper disposition of candidates for the reception of the sacraments. If you are interested in family-centered faith formation, please contact Dominic.
