Family Faith Formation (PreK-4th Grade)

Faith is a journey and we are excited to accompany and support your family!

At St. Josaphat, we are striving to foster faith that sticks and to create an environment where our children and their families feel welcomed, at home, and loved like God loves us. Our team of staff and volunteers is committed to accompanying your family during these formative years and creating opportunities to grow in relationship with God among a community centered around faith.

Family Faith Formation (hybrid at-home/at-church sessions)

Our program is designed to be dynamic and engaging for the whole family. We are passionate about how faith is shared at home, rather than only creating a classroom setting for learning. Based on our own continued learning, we follow statistics that show faith "sticks" when it is talked about and lived out by the people children love the most, their parents! We see parents as the "primary catechists," the home as the center of faith formation, and the family as our best investment in faith development. The program entails the following:

• At-Church Sessions - once a month on Sunday mornings, following 10am Family Masses, led by catechists and expanding on the content offered at-home
• Parent Sessions (optional) - offered simultaneously with the at-church sessions, including speakers, discussions, and more that focus on fostering faith within your family and building a faith-based community of parents
• At-Home Sessions - once a week family meetings lasting no more than 30 minutes centered on games, activities, and discussions as a family; all content and materials are provided or include common objects found at home
