What Happens at a Family Faith Session?
Families with children in grades 1 - 8 participate together once a month on Tuesdays or Thursdays. The first two sessions of the month (Session A on Tuesday and Session D on Thursday) run from 4:30 to 6:00pm, and the last four sessions of the month (Session B, C, E and F) are from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Each session begins with the family together in the church, where there is a 30 minute introduction and faith sharing. Then, children in grades 4-8 go into their own classrooms while their parents go into an Adult Education classroom. During this time, parents learn about what the children are doing in their classes, as well as deepen their own understanding of the Catholic faith.
Children in grades 1-3 remain with their parents in the church. Together, these parents and their children travel through centers with other families with children in grades 1-3.
All families regather back in the church about 10 minutes before the end of the session, for a closing prayer and announcements. Nursery is available on all Tuesday sessions and the first Thursday session of each month.
