A FAMILY OF FAITH
What St. John’s Families are saying about A Family of Faith:
“We chose Family of Faith in order to hold ourselves accountable as parents to keep our faith alive at home, and to take seriously our role and responsibility in teaching and discussing our faith with our kids." - Krier family, SJE parishioners
“As parents, we know we need to educate our kids in the Catholic faith. Family of Faith offers great guidance for parents and fun activities for kids. The program has made it easy to grow in faith together.” — Pehrson family, SJE parishioners

A New Way to Think About Religious Education
Parents are the primary educators of their children. At St. John's, our hope is to develop strong Catholic families in which children learn the joys of following Jesus Christ and the truths of our Faith through the witness of Christian life given by their parents.
A Family of Faith was developed by The Sophia Institute and it is the family faith formation program in use at our parish.
A Family of Faith is designed to take families through the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church over the span of 4 years. Each month will cover a different topic. Parents will have a meeting where they will learn the two lessons for the month and be empowered with the tools to teach the lessons to their children at home. Activity books for kids and Parent Guidebooks will be provided to make the lessons more interesting for children and easier for parents.
Each lesson at home should take no longer than 30-45 minutes to complete. It is a great way for parents to bond with children teaching them the importance of faith in family life.
