Why Family Formation?

  • There is a receptivity and vulnerability to good formation which only happens in the early years of children’s development, and only in the family.

  • A family catechesis program helps families to embrace this time and use it to form their children well.

  • “Christ and His Church call parents to be “the first and foremost educators of their children” [Gravissimum Educationis, 3].

  • Family catechesis aids families in becoming the domestic churches they are called to be. [Lumen Gentium]

“Love is shown by little things, by attention to small daily signs which make us feel at home. Faith grows when it is lived and shaped by love. That is why our families, our homes, are true domestic churches. They are the right place for faith to become life, and life to grow in faith.”

 - Pope Francis, 2015 Apostolic Journey to the USA
