We are excited to begin a new year of Faith Formation!

We are calling our Faith Formation Initiative:
Growing in Faith Together (G.I.F.T.)
which reminds us that faith is a gift in which we must always continue to grow,
and that we do this together as a household and as a community.

Throughout the year, we will provide opportunities for parishioners of all ages
to grow in the knowledge of and love for God.

We have structured our year around seasonal themes:
Fall: Building Our Faith Together
Advent: The Gift of Jesus
Lent: Water, Light, and Life
Easter: From Mass to Mission

Watch the bulletin and website for more information

Each week, suggested resources related to the Sunday Gospel are published in our bulletin and additional resources can be found on our Lifelong Faith Website.

A home study program is also available. The Faith Formation Office will provide support for you to successfully complete the lessons. This is a wonderful way for the family to learn together and grow in faith. See details.
 

We invite you and your child to prepare with us during the coming months for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.

This year we will use a process for preparing your child called Growing Up Catholic - available for two age groups (7-9, 10-14). In this process, YOU become the actual teacher of your child, but we guide you through every step. This is a memorable time of your child’s life – and the memories you make during this preparation period will be cherished for a long time.

The schedule allows for your family to participate in our Growing Up Catholic Faith Stories program as well:

First Reconciliation Prep:
Fall - October 2, 9, 23, 30, November 20, December 4

First Eucharist Prep (includes a snow day and a rehearsa):
Spring - January 22, February 5, 12, March 12, 19, April 2, 16, 23
First Eucharist - Tentatively: Sunday, April 30, 2023, 10 am mass

Children's Liturgy of the Word has been temporarily discontinued. We hope to resume when more families with young children may be able to attend mass. In the meantime, we encourage families to take advantage of the Gospel related activities published each week in the bulletin and on our Lifelong Faith website.
