One of the richest blessings of Family and Family comes as families learn about the beauty and truth of the Catholic Faith together. Once a month, families will gather for a meal and fellowship, receive in-person formation and the “Monthly Home Lesson” packet. We will provide the guidance and the tools you’ll need for the remainder of the month. And God will provide the grace that has the power to deepen your love for each other and transform your family in amazing ways. Our Faith and Family model of catechesis grounds itself in the realization that family life is the place where faith and religion can have the most positive impact and the best chance of taking root in a child’s life.
Our Faith and Family Formation Program includes the following:
We are asking each family to register for one of two Journey Groups.
Faith & Family Programming | ||
Journey Group | Day Of Month | Time |
Journey Group A | First Sunday | 9:00-10:30am |
Journey Group B | First Tuesday * | 5:30-7:00pm |
*Arize Middle School, grades 6, 7 & 8 will meet on Tuesday nights for Faith and Family Catechisis
The Parish community will be hosting a wide variety of events throughout the academic year and we want your family to participate in as many of them as possible so that you will truly feel that St. Joseph is your spiritual home and your child will receive an even greater experience of God’s love and grace than he or she would if they simply attended a class for one night a week.
St Joseph PSR is EXCITED…to offer a religious education class for children with special education needs! Whenever possible children with special education needs will be integrated into a regular PSR classroom. If you have a background in special education and would like to help by teaching a child or assisting in any other way, contact us! Whenever possible children with special education needs will be integrated into a regular PSR classroom.
Who can attend? Any child, 6 – 12 years old, with special needs whose needs cannot be met in a general religious education classroom.
What will we teach? It is our desire to provide quality religious education, sacramental preparation and a living faith for children with special learning needs. We have a high ratio of teacher/helpers to students and work with parents to help the children benefit in the best possible way. Our primary goal is for children to know that God loves them.
What will we do? Have FUN learning about God! Jesus wants your child to grow in faith, too! Have courage! Contact us about religious education for your child!
