Faith Formation for 2020-2021
Dear Families,
Our school year will be pretty different from what you are used to. We are not going to have weekly in-person classes. Parents you will be the primary catechists to your children and the parish Faith Formation team and catechists will assist you. We will provide all the materials you need to successfully shepherd your children in their faith development. Here is how it will work:
Our school year will be pretty different from what you are used to. We are not going to have weekly in-person classes. Parents you will be the primary catechists to your children and the parish Faith Formation team and catechists will assist you. We will provide all the materials you need to successfully shepherd your children in their faith development. Here is how it will work:
- Four to five families will be grouped into Small Family Groups with a single catechist to facilitate your at-home catechesis through emails and phone calls and the monthly parent meeting.
- On the First Wednesday of the Month we will have a parent meeting at the parish. One parent should attend. (We will have the chairs spaced out for social distancing, and masks are recommended to be worn.) The meeting will last 1 hour and the agenda for each meeting will be:
- Opening Prayer/Worship
- Catechesis lesson
- Small group learning/discussion
- Closing Prayer/Worship
- The rest of the month, you will lead your family through the lessons that will be given out at the meeting and emailed to you. Your family catechist will contact you via email once a week and phone twice a month.
We value your connection with the parish and encourage you to continue to attend Mass on the weekends with our parish community. If you have any underlying conditions we need to take into consideration for the safety and health of your family, please let us know. We love you all and want to get through this time as safely and with maximum spiritual growth as possible! Come, Holy Spirit!
