Parents & Families at the Center of Faith Formation

• Parents and caregivers are the most significant influence on faith in the first two decades of life

• Day-to-day religious practice in families & the way parents model faith anchor religious identity

• Warm & loving relationships that seek to listen create a more effective foundation of spiritual & human development

• Parents and families "living into faith" is the essential way to foster lasting vitality in the faith lives of children and teens

Our parish, along with 220 others in our archdiocese and across the country, will participate in an initiative sponsored by the NCCL. A parish team of parents and staff throughout the campus have gathered to start the process. Over the next three years, we will open opportunities to listen in to parents and families, strengthen our existing offerings, and explore new ways to empower parents and families to live their faith.
