Description and Curriculum: The Family Sundays program equips families with tools and resources to build Households of Faith. Families expand their knowledge of Scripture and Catholic tradition, join in prayer, and participate in faith-based activities in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. There are three components:
Students: Finding God, Loyola Press
Children learn the basics of the faith with the Finding God workbook at home with their parents. As they conclude each chapter, they complete a simple review online that the parish tracks. At the end of each unit, children meet for discussion and activities to review and reinforce what they have learned and are rewarded with a fun game online!
Parents: The Catholic Parent, Augustine Institute and Catholic Sprouts on Formed
Adults view a Catholic Parenting video with facilitated discussion while the children are in their unit review class.
Families:
Families gather to learn about our faith with prayer, presentations, activities, discussion and service. Ideas and materials are shared to do at home to enhance Catholic Family Faith Life.
Volunteers: We need catechists to facilitate the six review sessions with the students. Materials provided. Help is also needed for set-up, take-down and general organization.
This is a new program, so we would love to hear your ideas!!
