Building Family Faith Family Catechesis Option:  (B.F.F. Program) 

This Option for Religious Education engages both parent and child in the formation journey.  Families come together on a monthly basis Sunday mornings at 8:20 AM for the 'Gathered Session' approximately 10 times during the calendar year.    Calendar Here

Currently our BFF Program is offered for families with children in grades Pre K- 5.    

The Sunday Bible Adventure is offered for 6th grade-  this is a Double class on both sides of Mass that meets 10 x a year .   Homework is provided.  Parents are welcome but do not 'need' to attend.

Parents attend parent workshops related to general Adult Faith Formation topics which are structured to renew their own faith and assist them in leading their children as they grow in the knowledge of their Catholic faith.   Parents spend time sharing with other parents as they discover their common challenges and share experiences.

Children attend grade level classes during the time their Parents are in their workshop.  They meet with a trained Catechist who reviews their lesson and monitors their home lessons.  

In between the monthly sessions Parents work with their children on 2-3 lessons in their grade level curriculum.     

Mass Attendance:  Attending Mass is central to our Catholic Faith.  It is expected that all families in our Religious Education program attend Mass weekly and on Holy Days of Obligation.   As part of the BFF program, we attempt to attend the 9:45 AM Mass together. 

Two or Three of our Sessions are Family Sessions :  As part of this program we will have seasonal family activities and a service opportunity to complete as a group.   These Family sessions are built into the calendar and they may be held at another time and location.  They count as part of our 10 annual sessions.
