FAITH FORMATION
Our Unique Approach to Faith Formation
St. John Paul II Catholic Parish has a unique approach to Faith Formation for children in grades PK-5! How it works:
-
At the church: The entire family gathers for “Faith Formation Sunday” on the 2nd Sunday of the month from 11:30am-12:30pm (beginning in September). Parents attend a workshop, where they learn through teaching, discussion, and prayer. Children will be dismissed to review sessions according to their grade or sacrament they are preparing for (First Reconciliation and/or First Eucharist & Confirmation). Childcare for younger children is available.
-
In the home: Parents teach their children with clearly designed lessons and activities that involve the whole family. If you have children preparing for First Reconciliation and/or First Eucharist & Confirmation you will utilize a specific curriculum for the sacraments. If you have children who are not preparing for a sacrament you will use a different curriculum.
-
In small group communities: Families meet monthly with other families for food, discussion and fellowship.
If you have a child who would like to be baptized or is older than 2nd/3rd grade and would like to prepare for Reconciliation, Confirmation or Eucharist please reach out to the Director of Faith Formation, Kristina: KristinaH@StJP2.org . We'd be happy to assist!
