Sacramental Lessons
At-home formation with a weekly lesson presented by parents, during the first three weeks of the month. Weekly family commitment for these lessons would be about 30 minutes. Children complete a weekly chapter assessment online. Families are asked to submit a once-per-month family reflection sheet and communicate with a Mentor Catechist assigned to your family. Parents can access parent formation lessons on chapter topics. During week 4, families attend the Family Faith Gathering. This includes prayer, service, game, or other activity, either online or gathered at the parish, as our shelter-in-place guidelines allow. Additional parent meetings and parent-child retreats will be scheduled.
Mentor Catechists for Families
Families are placed in small Family Groups, based on your choice of Family Faith Gathering session. Each Family Group will be assigned a Mentor Catechist. The Mentor Catechist will periodically touch base with you, providing encouragement, affirmation, and ideas in how to present lessons to your children. When we can gather in-person, the Mentor Catechist will gather with your Family Group to lead and welcome.
