Children's Faith Formation
(Pre-school to 8th Grade)
What is Faith Formation?
Some of you might know it as CCD, Catechism Class, Religious Education, or Sunday School.
Education is a critical part of forming the faith of all disciples. To have our faith and life formed by God’s love in Christ, we need to know something about the story of God, what it means that God loves us, and how God wants us to act in our daily lives.
However, faith formation goes way beyond the classroom. Faith is formed through any action, experience, or relationship, and education is only one part of that. If we want our children to have a faith that influences the way they live their lives and life decisions, then we need to be modeling faith in our homes.
“Family Catechesis…precedes, accompanies and enriches all other forms of catechesis. Thus, there cannot be too great an effort on the part of Christian parents to prepare for this ministry of being their own children’s catechists and to carry it out with tireless zeal.”
-Pope St. John Paul II, Catechesi Tradendae
