The Faith Formation team at Holy Name of Mary invites your family on a new journey of faith this year. Whether you have young kids
or teens, children ready to receive a sacrament or not, we are excited to accompany your family on the pathway to discipleship. As we prayed and planned for the year ahead, a year that by necessity will be like no other, we reflected deeply on what we do and how we do it. We reminded ourselves that at the heart of catechesis is connection with the person of Jesus Christ. We reimagined what faith
formation would look like if we made encounters with Christ, not merely content about Christ, our primary focus. We envisioned a process that involved the whole family hearing and answering Jesus' call to "Follow me."

The Faith Formation Program 2020-2021 puts families at the center of a flexible program with opportunities to fit each
family's unique schedule. Offering a monthly calendar with various options, each family will select experiences on three, interconnected pathways all leading to the same destination, a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.

Nurturing a family of faith is not a spectator sport. Parents play an integral part by modeling what a disciple of Jesus looks like. By deepening their own relationship with God, parents are fully able to embrace their role as faith mentor to their child.
Parent/Guardian Commitment:
|
The family is recognized as the "domestic Church," the smallest body of gathered believers in Christ. Families come in all shapes and sizes, but share the common task of giving children their first encounters with Jesus, prayer experiences, and a heart to serve others.
Family Commitment:
|
We are one body in Christ and experience this fully when we gather together with our family of faith, the church community. There are so many ways to connect and grow in holiness with others. We will continue to offer both AGE SPECIFIC and WHOLE FAMILY offerings.
Family/Teen Commitment:

"The best and surest way to learn the love of Jesus is through the family." - St. Teresa of Calcutta
