"The Object of Catechesis is communion with Jesus Christ. Catechesis leads people to enter the mystery of Christ, to encounter him, and to discover themselves and the meaning of their lives in him" (NDC 55)

The St. Bernadette Faith Formation Team is excited to announce a Whole Family Catechesis component starting this fall. The structure of Whole Family Catechesis will be:

• Gathering Together
• Breaking for Catechesis
• Returning for Mass*

It will be a time for children from Pre-K to High School to further their education in the Catholic faith, and will include Adult Catechesis for parents and other adult parishioners who wish to continue their formation in the faith.

In response to your requests for more family time, we want to keep your family together by providing a Mass time centered on worshipping as a family, with dynamic and engaging catechesis, within a vibrant and growing parish community.

We believe Faith Formation is not merely a program, but a process of the family growing in the Catholic faith together. At its core, Whole Family Catechesis will improve our service to you by providing your family with the tools and resources you need to fulfill your vocation as the Domestic Church.

It will allow you to follow your children through their own formation and help further their education in the faith as their primary catechists. We believe that the liturgy, catechesis, and community are inherently connected and are essential to Faith Formation.

Next Fall we would like to invite your family to join us at St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Whole Family Catechesis. Our registration is open and is available in the link below.

Thank you,

Your Faith Formation Team

*though WFC will go from catechesis to the 5:30pm Mass, it is not required to attend this specific Mass
