The Middle School Faith Formation program is based upon these goals:
Middle School Faith Formation classes will be held in person once a month from October through May in O'Connell Hall, on Sunday nights from 5-6:30 p.m.
If you determine that our plans for Faith Formation sessions will not work well for your family and would like to explore homeschooling, please contact Monica LaFond for resource recommendations.
This year in our Middle School Faith Formation classes we will explore Sacred Scripture. We will spend our class sessions journeying through the Bible, learning about how God speaks to us, guides us, and inspires us through the stories of our faith. The overall goals of the program are to create a space for thoughtful conversation, deepen the faith of middle schoolers and their knowledge about our faith, and build community.
Curriculum resources used for the development of our sessions include: Equipping the Saints, Education for Justice, Catholic Central, Busted Halo and the McGrath Institute for Church Life, as well as the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Bible.
Students will need a personal Bible for class. Any translation of the Bible is fine, as long as it is a full Bible (not a children's storybook Bible). If they already have a Bible, wonderful. If not, here are a few good options: a Catholic Youth Bible, an inexpensive Bible, and a study Bible.
Volunteers are always needed! If you are available to serve as a facilitator, please contact Monica LaFond.
