Religious Education: 

Faith Formation

We are excited to announce our new approach to Faith Formation (previously known as Religious Education) for our parish. Beginning this Fall, we are launching Family Faith Formation.

Our heart at Holy Family is to see families encountering the love of God together as a family and in community as a part of the Church--a family of families.

As we encounter the love of God, our natural desire is to draw near to Him and to desire to know Him more. When we encounter the love of God we are never the same!

We desire to facilitate for families encounters with the love of God and then to equip families to grow in their knowledge not only about Him but of Him. Love has a name--Jesus!

Come and journey together with us as we encounter Jesus and come to know Him deeper.

In order to equip families to live a life for Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit, and to support families in the preparation of their children to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Communion and Confirmation, we are implementing a new resource called Pathways.

Pathways allows families to have intentional faith conversations with their children at home. Supported by the parish, we will come together as families at church monthly on a Wednesday evening to unpack and delve deeeper into the mysteries we are discussing and living out as a family at home.

Sacramental Preparation for children in their immediate year of receiving the Sacrament will continue to meet weekly on Wednesday evenings.

For specific date information, please see our calendars on the right side of this page.

In order to set each family on their pathway of growing in the faith and as disciples of Jesus Christ, we will be holding Family Interviews in the month of August.

We invite each family to sign up for a Family Interview. Parents/Guardians will meet with our Coordinator of Family Discipleship, Chantelle Hudachek, for 30 minutes. Don't worry! This is not an inquisition but an opportunity for Chantelle to get to know your individual family and for you to share with us how we as your parish family can better come alongside you to support your family in your faith journey.

Book a Family Interview!

"The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ: only He can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity" (Catechesi tradendae 5).

All families will begin by attending Seek together as a family.

Seek is a four week program we are holding in September on Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm in the PLC.

Seek for Children is an at-church VBS style experience designed for children in grades 1-5. Children in grades 6 and up will be asked to participate in a leadership role. Through songs, activities, and teachings children will get to know a God who is love and be given a shared vocabulary to begin conversations of faith with their parents.

Seek for Parents is an at-church small group experience designed for parents as they journey with their children in the first steps of formation. Through discussions, activities, reflections, witnesses, and teachings parents will get to know a God who is love and be given a shared vocabulary to begin conversations of faith with their children.

In registering for Family Faith Formation, you are registering for Seek.

Catholic School Families are invited to join us for Seek! If you are a Catholic School Family and only want to participate in Seek, please register for Seek separately here:
