FAITH FORMATION FOR CHILDREN is
our religious education program for children, ages 4 - 6th grade. We meet 2-3 Sundays a month from 10:30 - 12:30.
It is
a fun filled learning time with prayer, crafts, worship & praise, snack.
We use texts and materials, approved by the archdiocese,
to teach the Catholic Christian Faith which includes the Scriptures, Catechism of the Catholic Church, Church history, Saints, Holy
Days and Seasons of the liturgical year, Church Documents, Prayer, Sacraments and Justice. Catechesis is based on Shared Christian
Praxis, meaning that it is experience based because children retain 70% of what they experience and only 10-15 % of what they hear
or read. This is also why the church says the home, parents and family practices are the primary teachers of children in the faith.
Children's Faith Formation includes family participation.
LITURGY OF THE WORD FOR CHILDREN is during the 9 a.m. Mass, this is
a child's version of the Scripture Readings; explanations, and prayer of the Faithful, for children 4-10 yrs. Encourage your children
to participate. Then talk with them about the readings after Mass. If you would like to help teach during this time please call
689-1054.
