Family Faith Formation

Calendar / ​Calendario

2022-2023 Calendar COMING SOON!

​
Calendario PRÓXIMAMENTE!

Family of Faith Materials

​Our primary resource is the ground-breaking Family of Faith program from Sophia Institute Press. This is a 4 year series that follows the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Once a family has gone through all four years, the cycle simply begins again (with the same resources) because now the children are four years older!

Each year families are instructed (either in person or via video as allowed) once a month for 8 months to learn the year's topic and children's activities. Parents / Guardians are taught that month's topics to prepare them to share for weekly discussions and activities with their children (activities are targeted to various ages between Kindergarten and 5th Grade).
If you are in Family Faith Formation (with children in grades K-5), you will need to purchase the reusable materials if you do not already have them. These can be filled out by children or kept blank for future use with activities being done on separate paper or on a computer!

Ordering Instructions
  1. If you haven't already, set up a free Sophia Institute account (instructions to set up an account can be found here) .
  2. Go to Shop A Family of Faith, or Shop Una Familia de Fe.
  3. Add the VOLUME 3 Parent's Guide and Children's Book.
  4. Click "Add Selected and Checkout" button.
  5. Select the 'add discount code' in the upper right corner and enter "STJ40" and click Apply.
  6. Follow checkout instructions.

Family of Faith Participation 

Here are the steps to complete each month (August - April):

1. PARTICIPATE in parental teaching sessions at the parish one Sunday each month.
2. TEACH your children throughout that month using the Family of Faith materials.
3. SHARE your family's monthly experiences at the parental retreats.

Materiales de la familia de fe

Nuestro recurso principal es el innovador programa Family of Faith de Sophia Institute Press. Esta es una serie de 4 años que sigue los cuatro pilares del Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica. Una vez que una familia haya pasado por los cuatro años, el ciclo simplemente comienza de nuevo (con los mismos recursos) ¡porque para entonces los niños serán cuatro años mayores!

Cada año, las familias reciben instrucciones (ya sea en persona o por video, como sea posible) una vez al mes durante 8 meses para aprender el tema del año y las actividades de los niños. A los padres / tutores se les enseñan los temas de cada mes para prepararlos para compartir en discusiones y actividades semanales con sus hijos (las actividades están dirigidas a varias edades entre los grados de kindergarten y el quinto grado).

Si está en Formación familiar en la fe (con niños en los grados K-5), deberá comprar los materiales reutilizables si aún no los tiene. Los niños pueden completarlos o dejarlos en blanco para usarlos en el futuro con actividades que se realicen en un papel separado o en una computadora.

Instrucciones para comprar materiales
[Parte de la página para comprar el material está en inglés.  Comuníquese con nosotros si tiene algún problema en entender.]
  1. Si aún no lo ha hecho, configure una cuenta gratuita de Sophia Institute (las instrucciones para configurar una cuenta se pueden encontrar aquí).
  2. Vaya a Comprar una familia de fe. (Para obte ner ayuda con el pedido, envíe un correo electrónico Norma Molina.)
  3. Agregue la Guía para padres y el Libro para niños VOLUME 3 (V3). 
  4. Haga clic en el botón "Agregar seleccionados y pago".
  5. Seleccione 'agregar código de descuento' en la esquina superior derecha e ingrese "STJ40" y haga clic en Aplicar.
  6. Siga las instrucciones de pago.

Participación de la familia

Estos son los pasos para completar cada mes (agosto - abril):

1. PARTICIPE en las sesiones de enseñanza para padres en la parroquia un domingo de cada mes.
2. ENSEÑE a sus hijos durante ese mes usando los materiales de Familia de Fe.
3. COMPARTE las experiencias mensuales de tu familia en los retiros para padres.
