Through the celebration of the sacraments and participation in a faith learning community, we invite children of all ages into the active life of the parish.
At Holy Family and St. Irene's Parishes, we believe faith formation is an ongoing process meant to draw us into a closer relationship with Christ and the Church. Faith formation is much broader than simply "instructing in the faith;" rather it is the term that embodies the curriculum of the whole Church -- including community, liturgy, proclamation, and teaching. Recognizing that parents are the first and best educators of their children in matters of faith, our ministry is meant to strengthen and build upon the faith formation that occurs within families.
We will be offering more Family Masses throughout the year, by request, as those have been well received by children and families alike! We encourage children of all grades ( K-12 ) to participate in these Masses.
We are using new resources for Middle School children that we trust will be more engaging for young teens.
We could use your help. We are in need of Catechists for all grades. There are also openings for Hall Monitors, Substitutes and more! Please contact us to find out how you can help share your faith with the youth of our Collaborative.
We look forward to journeying with your family in our mission to share faith in our community,
