Home Study Faith Formation is a great option for families: - to support each parent's vocation as the first and best teacher of faith - to share faith in a creative, intentional and systematic way at home - to accommodate the need for flexibility and setting your own pace - to create groups or communities for Home Study in neighborhoods or among friends
Parents who register their children and youth for Home Study Faith Formation are provided: - weekly Lesson Outlines to easily fit an individual's schedule, family, or group approach - a textbook (PreK 3 - 8th grade) or online program (9th - 12th grade) - additional resources to support a creative approach outside of the textbook - faith formation support to assist parents in facilitating lessons at home (see contact below)
PreK 3 - 5th grade children may benefit from simultaneous lessons with a one-room schoolhouse approach using weekly lessons, textbook (grade-level specific, Our Sunday Visitor series), and additional resources to tailor to your family. Children use the same materials as weekly, in-person Elementary Faith Formation.
6th -8th grade youth may also benefit from simultaneous lessons using weekly lessons (he first section posted by September 15th) that build off of elementary lessons, textbook (grade-level specific, Word of Life series), and additional resources to tailor to your family.
9th - 12th grade youth will follow a weekly lesson schedule (the first section to be posted by September 15th) and will benefit from regular touchpoints with parents for follow up conversation. The format is both systematic and dynamic to adapt to the interests of high school youth.
Children and youth in Home Study Faith Formation are always invited and strongly encouraged to participate in any in-person, grade-specific faith formation activities or special events.
