Faith Formation at HomeResearch continues to show that faith is best passed on from parent to child, even for middle schoolers. This program for students in all grades will facilitate this with family-style learning in the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule. Families will be supported by a weekly email from the parish detailing the material to be covered that week and including brief teaching videos explaining the weekly materials and supplemental materials (additional videos, worksheets, and printables).
This program will involve five steps each week, which will be spelled out in each weekly email:- Begin with prayer – Reciting basic prayers is the easiest way to memorize them.
- Explore the Sunday Gospel – Follow a simple format to reflect and share what God says to you.
- Read and discuss a handful of catechism questions and/or and additional Bible story – Age-appropriate resources keep the whole family focused on the same topic and able to share what they learn.
- Complete the Learning Check In in your email – A simple Google form that shows your family has completed the week’s material.
- Conclude with prayer – Sharing your prayer intentions with each other enhances your bond as a family.
