Families of Faith partners with parents to provide preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist, as well as ongoing formation of the Catholic faith. This program is family based.  Families who have children over the age of seven that need to be baptized also receive their formation thru Families of Faith. 


There are two main components of this program:                                                                                                                     

Component #1
Family Mass and Gathering at Church – The first component of the Families of Faith program invites the whole family to participate in a Gathering after attending Sunday Mass together. The Gathering is held once a month and consists of activities and teachings to strengthen the knowledge of our Catholic faith.

Component #2
Family Meetings at Home – The second component of the Families of Faith program is having Family Meetings with the Pathway Box!  Inside the box is everything you need to create a Faith Experience for your family in the comfort of your home. When the Catholic faith becomes something that is present and practiced in your home your children are more likely to embrace the faith for themselves as they move into adolescence and adulthood
