“Faith is born of an encounter with the living God, who calls us and reveals his love, a love which precedes us and upon which we can lean for security and for building our lives.” Lumen Fedei 4

These words of Pope Francis are a reminder of the importance of the gift of faith in guiding our lives on a path of love and fulfillment as the people God created each of us to be. We do so much to help our children develop their gifts and talents so that they will be successful in life, sending them to the best schools and involving them in a variety of after-school activities. Do we invest the same time and energy in their faith?

STA-Kids Faith Formation (Pre-Kindergarten through 5th Grade) helps our children to make that “encounter with the living God” Pope Francis spoke of. We also offer opportunities for our parents to continue their own growth in their faith with our parent gatherings, which all parents are encouraged to participate in. 

 

Our program is Lectionary based, so what they hear at Mass relates to what they will do in class, and vice versa; how- ever, being Catholic is not just a Sunday experience, it is something we should carry through every aspect of our lives. STA-Kids Faith Formation is here to help your children grow in their faith. We want to share this excit- ing time with your children and with you as they begin to know God and to see God as a source of guidance and support for becoming the person God created them to be.

The “seeds of faith” are planted when we choose to have our children bap- tized. Nourish those seeds with participation in STA-Kids Faith Formation. Registration forms are available in the vestibule of each church and on our parish website.
