- Welcome (Register at bottom)
  
  At Holy Family parish, forming our children in the Christian faith is a top priority. As you know, it is not just the children who need formed, but the ENTIRE family and all of our sacramental preparation for children has a parental component as well.
  
  When mom and dad LIVE their Christian faith at home and LEAD by example, that is a great way to keep our children in the faith. Saint Joseph modeled this by obediently responding to God's call, "he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him" (Matthew 1:24, see also 2:14). The blessed mother also gives us this example when she responded to the call to be the mother of the savior when she said, "be it done unto me according to your word" (Luke 1:38).
  2 THINGS TO DO
  Register any children you have 3yrs old — 5th grade
  (even if they are not receiving a sacrament this year)
  This will help us update our parish database to know how many children we have at Holy Family
  PARENTS — look at the calendar and take note of:
  Parent sacramental formation nights
  Children's retreat days for those receiving a sacrament
  I Invite you to PSR – regardless of school
  I invite and encourage you and your child(ren) to become part of our Holy Family Parish School of Religion (required for public school children) - even if they are homeschooled or at Bishop Mussio.
  
  We meet Thursday nights and strive to make it FUN, ENGAGING, PRAYERFUL as they learn about their Christian faith.
  AGES: 3yrs old — 5th grade
  DATE: Thursdays, first night September 12th
  TIME: 6:30-8:00
  WHERE: Holy Family
  WHO: All public school (required), homeschool and Catholic School children are welcome
  CLASSES:
  3-5yrs old: Catechesis of the Good Shepherd LEVEL 1 (CGS)
  1^st Grade: Communion I Preparation
  2^nd Grade: Communion II Preparation
  3^rd & 4^th Grd: Confirmation Foundations
  5^th Grade: Confirmation Preparation (this is very good Confirmation prep)
  
  Structure of a night:
  We have a fun activity/game as children first come in
  Then we have a group time for welcome, prayer and singing
  Then they go to their classes for catechesis
  The FIRST Thursday of the month is a SPECIAL night (except for CGS):
  On this night we have a drama, an extended game, a more hands on group catechesis, adoration in the Church and a time of snacks at the end.
  Parents, please join us for adoration and snacks
  DID YOU KNOW?
  Sacramental Preparation for First Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation begins in Kindergarten.
  First Reconciliation & First Communion are celebrated in 2nd grade.
  Confirmation is celebrated in 5th grade.
  Catechesis for these sacraments continues after each grade through high school.
  All children in Pre K – 12th grade should be catechized in one of the Faith Formation Programs (schools, youth ministry, parish faith formation).
  All adults are encouraged to continue their formation through adult discipleship opportunities offered at Holy Family.
