Formation
Our church documents clearly state that parents are the primary catechists or teachers of faith for their children. Seek ways to pass on a living and active faith to your children and teens and to partner with the parish in supporting a lifelong journey of faith that is modeled throughout all generations within the family.
Evangelization means to share the good news of our faith with others. In order to meet this expectation we must first name and claim the faith for ourselves. No one ever graduates from “faith formation;” it is a lifelong journey. Therefore, be sure that each family member is growing in their own faith. Parents who participate in adult Bible studies, retreats, adult formation programs, or serve as catechists and sponsors cannot help but pass along this updated and re-energized faith to other friends and family members.
