Growing in Faith Together - GIFT

- Growing in Faith Together is a faith formation opportunity with focus on both parents and children. Wednesday evenings, twice a month, families focus on teachings of the faith and concrete ways to live them out in their home.
  Our goal is to provide parents the opportunity to grow in their faith and equip them to share the Catholic Faith with their children. Our catechists will encourage and guide you through the process.
What can you expect from GIFT?
- A Parent's Perspective
  
  "We tried the completely self-guided format for one year (Home Study) and it didn't go well.
  
  Our family recognized that we needed the structure of set intervals of meetings/classes with others families with the same goals that (the) GIFT class offers. (I)t motivates us to work through the curriculum.
  
  (Our) kids are in so many activities that if we don't have a structured schedule for our faith, it can too easily get pushed to the back burner. We have been doing GIFT class for several years and it is the best option for our family."
  from David, parent & parishioner
- Our 2022-2023 theme: Sacraments
  
  GIFT allows the whole family to grow in faith together. Recognizing the craziness of our lives, we are trying to keep it simple with a mixture of virtual and in-person sessions. This is an opportunity to gather with like-minded parents and ask questions of our catechists. Parents are provided with resources and the choice of easy, simple activities to do at home throughout the month. Sessions with parents and children are interactive and promote living the faith at home. The focus of '22-'23 is Sacraments. Some of our topics include:
  
  Signs and Symbols
  
  Initiation Sacraments
  
  Sacraments of Healing
  
  Sacraments of Service
  
  We look forward to getting to know you and your children!
