Faith Formation

We have adopted a family-based model of Faith Formation (Family Faith Formation). The aim of Family Faith Formation is to assist parents in their role as the primary educators in faith for their children. Children and youth are encouraged to participate in the various social and service activities held in the parish, as well as regular worship with their parents. 

This page will be updated by mid-May with information for the 2025-2026 year.

Family Faith Formation consists of the following parts:

Student Gatherings

Typically held on the second and fourth Sundays, students in grades K-6 gather for a traditional classroom experience divided by grade, with the exception of kindergarten and 1st grade, who share a classroom. Students in grades 7+8 gather for a small group, discussion/video-based model of instruction. 

Parent Sessions

Usually held on the second Sunday of the month, parents gather for a session just for them, which includes light refreshments, a video, and small group table discussion.

Family Box

Family Boxes contain materials for the whole family to participate together in engaging and interactive Family Meetings (number of meetings varies by box). They are designed for the entire family to participate while maintaining a special focus on elementary and/or middle school aged children. Families choose which box they would like to complete each year. 

Family Life

Completed at home, this unit addresses key concerns of today's Catholic families and is required by the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Family Mass

Held on the third Sunday of the month at 10 AM (September - March), this Mass is dedicated to our families and children are responsible for fulfilling liturgical roles. Roles include: greeter, reader, collector, participation in the offertory procession, involvement in music, and altar serving (if trained). Families are encouraged to attend all Family Masses and are required to participate in at least one!

Registration for the 2025-2026 year will be available in May. All family's looking to register are first required to complete a "Family Meeting" (in person) with Clare Kinsey and/or Susan Baldwin. Complete information will be listed here in the spring.

Rates for 2025-2026 will be published in the spring.
