The "Weekly Family Mission" is a guide to help families pace the at-home catechesis. Click the button below. 

WHAT IS A FAMILY OF FAITH?

This catechesis model invests in the faith development of families, giving parents the tools to support faith formation at home.

While parents attend monthly adult catechesis presentations, students participate in group activities with peers. 

Parents return home prepared to build upon the foundation received throughout the month supported by curriculum materials from Sophia Institute, the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and invitations to other faith building opportunities offered throughout the month.

Both parents & students attend monthly Faith Formation nights

All families seeking formation must enroll in Family of Faith. 

Applicable for families with students in grades Pre-K through 12th grade

ABOUT VOLUME IV: CHRISTIAN PRAYER

This focuses on Christian prayer, and why it is so essential for growing in relationship with God. After exploring the covenant drama of prayer in Scripture, families learn the richness of the Our Father, the major expressions of prayer, and the example of the Virgin Mary in conversations with God.
