This ministry offers faith formation for families and young people from grades 1 to 12 who attend our local public, private, Catholic, or are home-schooled.

FORMATION FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD
Due to the nature of online religious education, we will offer sessions, resources, and faith formation programs throughout the entire year designed to include parent participation to help strengthen the faith life of the whole family.

Through our program, we hope that families/households will come to a fuller and richer experience of the presence of God in their lives and grow in their mission of being Christ's disciples in our world.

"From antiquity, Christians have referred to the family as a domestic church. So did the Second Vatican Council in its Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, “Lumen Gentium” (No. 11). The events affecting our lives during this time of pandemic have led many Catholics to reencounter our families. Ironically, many of us do so while asking, what does it mean to be family today? This is a perfect time for catechists of all ages to arise in the context of the home; a time for Gospel-inspired rituals and practices that make God present in the daily life of the family; a time to recognize the face of Christ in every member of our household." --Hosffman Ospino
