Catechist-CRE (Christian Religious Education)

This ministry provides assistance in teaching Catholic religious education to those children not attending parochial school. Holy Family participates in the Inter-Parish Family Faith Formation program (IFFF).  This Religious Faith Formation program is a collaborative effort among eight parishes in our region and is intended for students in grades kindergarten through eight who are not attending a parish school.  Ours is a family-based program where weekly lessons are completed at home, with a monthly large group family event held at Saint Agnes or another participating parish . The monthly family event includes: prayer, family shared light meal, check in lesson overview with children and parent enrichment. The monthly session ends with a seasonal/liturgical activity for all families.  Families are invited and encouraged to participate in various outreach opportunities throughout the year as well.  The IFFF is planned and facilitated by a team of certified, ambitious, and faith-filled catechists . Sacramental preparation for Eucharist, Reconciliation, and Confirmation is offered for all registered families . IFFF runs August through May.
