Family Catechesis
-
We are excited to introduce a new format for ALL religious education beginning September 2022. We will be utilizing a new "Family Catechesis" model for the entire program. For us that means families (parents and children together) will attend just six (6) 90-minute gatherings during the year. Each gathering will look like this:
Families will join together in the gym for prayer and an introduction to the session's theme; then children will be dismissed to classrooms to work with catechists on a grade-level lesson (using the Finding God textbook series); parents will stay in the gym for adult faith formation and discussion; the gathering will conclude with families working together on a hands-on project (social justice, service, liturgical).
Between gatherings, parents will work at home with their children to complete additional textbook lessons. Children will submit an online assessment for each lesson completed at home.
Special Needs: Our programs provide an inclusive education for all children with special needs. Placement is done at the discretion of the program leaders and cooperation of the parents. Please inform us of your child’s learning needs, allergies, and any factors that may assist us in the education and care of your child. Spaces are provided on the registration form for this information.
