Goals for Faith
Formation
Adults
- To enable adults to connect their own faith stories with
our Story in Scripture and Tradition in order to grow in
their relationship with God
- To enable adults to connect their own faith stories with
the faith stories of others in order to build a community
grounded in Faith
- To enable single, married and divorced parents to
recognize and celebrate their role as primary educators in
Faith for their children
- To provide non-Catholic adults and non-practicing Catholic
adults experiences and catechesis to connect with the Roman
Catholic tradition.
Sacramental Preparation
- To enable parents to actively engage in the immediate
preparation of their children for sacramental celebration
through sharing their own faith life
- To continue to develop preparation processes that enable
participants to reflect on their Faith journey and, through
a deeper understanding of ritual, sign and symbol, to attune
to God's intimate presence in sacrament
- To create in all preparation processes an environment of
hospitality which provides a necessary comfort zone for
spiritual growth to take place and for community to happen
Religious Education for Youth,
7th - 12th Grades
- To provide our young people with a forum to question our
beliefs in order to own our Story and Tradition
- To help our young people build on their understanding of
our Story in Scripture and Tradition in order to engage the
Gospel in their daily choices
- To help our young people expand their own spirituality to
develop a more personal relationship with Jesus
Children's Religious Education/
Grades Pre-Kindergarten through 6
- To help children come to know our Story in Scripture and
Tradition in order to see God's unconditional love active in
their lives
- To help children connect with their peers and with the
larger community of Faith so that they feel a sense of
belonging to the family of God
- To enable children to develop and enrich their prayer life
in private and public worship and to develop an
understanding and commitment to living the Gospel in family,
neighborhood, nation and world.
