For Families with 1st-6th Graders

Families Forming Disciples

This Faith Formation program for families with 1st-6th graders brings the whole family together to encourage family prayer and discussion about faith inside your homes to promote a deeper relationship with Jesus. The program runs on a 4-week monthly rotation. Details below.

General Schedule

  • In-person meeting in Fr. Bannon Hall where catechists will present the lesson for the month, usually including a video, and a hands on activity for the kids

  • Families will complete an at-home family mission activity on their own time. Instructions for this activity will be discussed at the previous in-person meeting and will always be available on this page (see menu to the right)

  • Virtual meeting taking place on Zoom where families will have a chance to discuss the at-home activity they completed the previous week

  • No meeting this week, but children preparing for a sacrament this year will have a chance to complete their workbook assignments. We will also hold a Family Mass where children will be invited on to the altar for a child-centric homily and families can participate in Mass by acting as greeters and handing out bulletins after Mass. Follow Mass in Fr. Bannon Hall, families will share some treats, enjoy fellowship, and (during certain months) have an opportunity to take part in a service project that we call our Community Mission

During Family Mass, children are invited onto the altar for a child-centric homily, and families are asked to volunteer to act as greeters and hand out bulletins after Mass. We also ask for volunteers to bring in baked goods and treats for fellowship in Fr. Bannon Hall after Mass. This year we are also offering a community mission opportunity after certain Family Masses as well.
