Family Faith formation at Resurrection aims to encourage and assist each family in building a strong household of faith, where our Catholic faith is lived out every day. Faith is an entire life-long journey that unfolds first and foremost within the family, the Domestic Church.
For families with children in Grades K through 5, the Parish of the Resurrection utilizes a program focused on the formation of both children and parents. Both will participate together on scheduled program dates. Each of our program dates begins with the celebration of Mass on Sunday mornings at 10:30, followed by gathering for community time.
We gather as a large group once each month. In between meetings, parents will work with their children at home utilizing a grade-based text book to teach the basics of our Catholic faith.
Bill Hoebsch, catholic author and theologian wrote: "Homemaking is the process by which you turn an ordinary house into … a home. It is the very heart of everything the church tries to do. No matter what church you belong to, if you don’t bring home what is taught and done there, then nothing you do at church matters either. Why? Because you don’t live at church. You live at home." (Handbook for Success in Whole Community Cathechesis)
It is this teaching of our faith by living our faith that we are striving for.
Preparation for the sacraments is offered separately, within our classrooms, to families who are participating in our Faith Formation program. Children in Catholic schools, whose families are registered at the parish, are also welcome to participate. Please check the Sacraments link for more information.
