Welcome Back to Family Faith Formation!
We’re so excited to welcome our Loaves & Fishes and Mustard Seeds families back to a new month of Family Faith Formation! Our theme for January is The Sacraments of Initiation, and the sessions will be led by Kelly Meraw, Director of Pastoral Care and Liturgy.
We will learn what a sacrament is and what is meant by “sacramental grace.” We’ll focus in particular on the three Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation. These are the sacraments that welcome us into the Christian community and provide the foundation for our lifelong journey in the faith.
THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 11 AT ST. PAUL
GRADES 3-5 LOAVES & FISHES
10:15-11:00am in the Parish Hall following the 9:00am Family Mass at St. Paul
SUNDAY, JANUARY 25 AT ST. PAUL
GRADES K-2 MUSTARD SEEDS
10:15-11:00am in the Parish Hall following the 9:00am Family Mass at St. Paul
REMINDERS
- If you have children in both the K-2 Mustard Seeds and 3-5 Loaves & Fishes cohorts you do not need to attend both sessions on the same theme. You can attend either session with all your children – we will have activities for both age-groups at all sessions, so choose the date that works best for your family.
- All sessions for K-5 are Family Sessions (children and parents together.) Children may not be “dropped off” without a parent or guardian.
