Family Faith Formation 

 

• Home-based

This means that parents and legal guardians are encouraged and empowered to bring the faith alive at home. Through resources provided, families are encouraged to explore faith themes at home that go hand in hand with what is discussed during formation sessions.  
 

• Family-focused

This means that our models will keep the family together instead of splitting our formation day and time between age and grades. We want formation to be an experience that leads all members of the family closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.
 

• Accompaniment

Pope Francis speaks of this quite often. It is important to recognize that while we all have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we do not walk the path that leads to heaven alone.  Ministry leaders (catechists and small group leaders as well as staff members) are here to get to know you, offer support and encouragement, and create a space where families feel welcome, known, and loved.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT TRAINING
Parents and legal guardians who are participating in either of our formation models must also complete the training so that we can ensure everyone who is on campus can work together at making St. Edward a safe place for all who seek the Lord!  Please click here to access or create your account and to complete the online training.  Please contact us if you have any questions or need any help accessing your account.



CATECHETICAL MINISTRY TEAM
In order to give parishioners the best and most joyful experience of formation, we need ministry leaders who can serve in one of these roles. Prayerfully consider if the Lord is calling you to serve Him in any of these ways and sign up accordingly when you fill out the family faith formation registration form.
