Faith Formation News

Dear families,
We had our first evening of Faith Formation last Wednesday. It was nice to see all our families back and welcome new families as well. If you are new to our parish or know a student who should be in our program, please contact the Faith Formation office. Our sacramental programs require a two-year commitment.

Time to Chat – Why was it hard for the disciples to grasp the idea that Jesus would be killed? What does Jesus mean when he says, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all”? Share a time when you have welcomed someone “in Jesus’ name,” that is, for the sake of Jesus.

Liturgy Link – Who comes in during the procession at the beginning of Mass? Who is first and who is last?

Family Challenge – Look for as many opportunities as possible this week to put someone else’s needs before your own.

Family Prayer – Praying with Music – As a family, listen to the Song of the Cross (Love Lifted on the Cross). You should be able to find the song on YouTube or wherever you stream music. Reflect on the lyrics what Jesus’ death and resurrection mean to you.

Family Fun – As Jesus and his disciples traveled around Galilee, they most likely camped a lot. Turn your backyard into your own personal campsite! It’s a fun and easy way to experience the great outdoors in a way that Jesus did. Create a backyard camp by pitching a tent, setting up camping chairs around a fire or a camping stove, and cook up some delicious campfire recipes. Turn off technology and enjoy the great outdoors. If the weather is bad, set-up a campground inside your home. Don’t forget to sing your favorite camp songs!
