Family Discipleship Calendar

Join our dynamic family-based formation program! 

Studies have decisively shown that children learn their faith overwhelmingly in the home.  Why?  Because children are most fluenced by their parents!   Family of Faith is designed for our ever-changing world. As the Church looks for better methods to teach the gospel in our culture, research has shown that bringing the faith to the whole family is more successful than textbook and classroom models.

• equips parents using dynamic activities and inspirational Catholic devotions
• has an easy-to-use format
• meets children where they are and brings them along to a deeper relationship with Christ
• helps families form friendships with other families!   
• saves time. (We've done the math, and this format takes less time than a standard once-per-week format)

How It Works...

1.  One Wednesday per month. 
2.  One Sunday per month.
3. In between, families do activities and devotions at home.

Testimonies

Read the testimonies from some of our families:

• I was amazed how my kids were able to rephrase the information to fit their understanding and language abilities! I enjoyed having conversations with my kids about our topics each month.

• I enjoyed teaching and re-learning about: the different covenants God made with us, being in a state of grace vs. a state of sin, and talking about the importance of Reconciliation and how great it is.

• I was amazed at how memorable the teachings were when combined with artwork!

• I liked the self-paced learning/teaching, good discussions, the art lessons, and the flexibility/understanding about ability to not make all sessions.

• The topics that most impacted me were: Jesus’ humanity, how Adam gave his flesh for Eve and how Mary gave her flesh for Jesus, how Jesus and Mary are the New Adam and the New Eve, and how Mary is the New “Queen Mother” that we see foreshadowed in the Old Testament.

• The month of February was the highlight for me, talking about what we think heaven and hell looks like and also what we (people) will look like in heaven.

• I gained a deeper understanding of the components of our faith such as the Annunciation, the Immaculate Conception, Pentecost, and the Trinity.
