It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the start of an exciting new approach to faith formation here at St. Patrick's.
The basic idea behind this new program is to teach the Catholic faith to families.   Parents and children will be invited to attend Faith Formation together as a family unit.  Parents will be provided support, materials and tools to accomplish this crucial task.

Why family faith formation is so important

• Engage Families in Your Parish
• This curriculum equips families to practice Faith at home as well as within the parish
• Learn to Follow Jesus

           As families come together to learn about the life of Jesus, his teachings and 
           the Catholic Faith, they will be confident in practicing their Faith and participating
           fully in the parish.

• Rebuild the Domestic Church
  The home becomes a place of learning in addition to Church.
  
  Our first family session for "A Family of Faith" is scheduled for September 8th at 6:00 p.m. for K-8th.  
• Meetings (classes) will meet in small groups 1st and 2nd Wednesdays of every month.
• Community Building events will meet 3rd Wednesdays of every month.  This meeting will be for reinforcing the lessons of the month and for sharing a fun community building activity
  
• Theology of the Body for Middle School and the family small groups can meet again to finish any activities for the month on 4th Wednesday.
  
  We look forward to embarking on this new venture with you and your family, while allowing God to transform our parish into a family of faith.
