    Whole Family Catechesis 
    Faith Formation at St. Bernadette 
    • 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


      -National Directory of Catechesis, 55

    • What is Whole Family Catechesis?
      • 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.

    • When will it be?
      • We plan to have Whole Family Catechesis for PreK - 12th grade regularly on Sundays between 4:00pm - 5:15pm. Please see the Calendar below of which ministry will be in the PLC on Sunday's at 4:00pm (PreK will meet according to the scheduled days in the PreK classrooms)

        • Additional times for PreK: 8:30-9:30 am, 9:40-10:45 am, and 11am -12pm 
          • All the classes are dependent on a class size requirement/limit and having adequate number of catechists.
