Welcome to the Faith Formation of Family Life’s new website!
“It
must be emphasized once more that the pastoral intervention of the
Church in support of the family is a matter of urgency. Every effort
should be made to strengthen and develop pastoral care for the family,
which should be treated as a real matter of priority, in the certainty
that future evangelization depends largely on the domestic church.”
John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio 65.
Written
in 1981, John Paul II’s statement has never been more true than today.
Aware of all the challenges that face Catholic married and family life,
we will be working on this new website every day to provide you with
the most up-to-date information, best resources and tools, and most
effective programs and workshops to support your family’s journey of
faith. Here you will find everything you need to know and do to prepare
and enter into the sacrament of marriage [link to
Marriage Prep]; how to prepare your children to receive the sacraments
of baptism, reconciliation, first communion, and confirmation; and much
more. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Mary Alice Piil, CSJ, Director of Faith Formation. |
