Welcome to Whole Family Catechesis here at St. Bernadette Catholic Church! For our 2023-2024 season we will have all of our gatherings on campus with an available home-study option if you prefer. 

Whole Family Catechesis is the method of Faith Formation practiced here at St. Bernadette Catholic Church. We believe that the family is the primary context in which faith formation takes place. With Whole Family Catechesis as our model, we at St. Bernadette will support you and your family in your journey of faith formation. 

"Faith Formation" is a common term used amongst Catholic Churches that refers to the systematic catechesis of the Catholic faith for all ages. Here at St. Bernadette, to register for "Faith Formation" is to register for Whole Family Catechesis which encompasses all ages from PreK-Adult.

We offer multiple opportunities for every member of your family to grow in faith. Every opportunity aligns with the mission and vision of Whole Family Catechesis - to support you, the family, in your faith formation journey towards Christ.
