Faith Formation Parent Commitment
As parents or guardians you are strongly encouraged to be actively involved in your child’s religious formation. That you have chosen to enroll them in a religious education program demonstrates the importance you place on their faith formation. We understand and appreciate the responsibility you have entrusted to us. Remember, though, we can only provide a foundation that you, the family, must build upon. You are the first and primary religious educators for your children. Therefore, you have a responsibility to remain active in your child’s faith formation by implementing the following:
●Help your child develop a living, growing faith that permeates daily life
●Foster a clear sense of Catholic identity with an appreciation of Catholic beliefs, values, prayers and practices;
●Incorporate our Catholic Christian traditions in life experiences;
●Open your child to God’s Word and respond willingly to His call as revealed in their life and our tradition.
The most valuable gift you can give your child is both the easiest and most important: weekly Mass attendance. Our liturgical celebrations have great educational and formative value, and the graces bestowed cannot be duplicated in a classroom.
SUPPORT your child’s faith formation by taking an active participation in your child’s religious education class. You can do this in the following ways:
ask your child what he/she is discussing in class
encourage them to apply what they are studying to their daily lives
acknowledge the seriousness of completing home assignments
show that you believe what your child is doing is important
PRAY with your child everyday
