Content

Through engaging, down-to-earth, easy to understand lessons and activities, children learn their Faith in joy and with excitement. This shared learning experience develops traditions and spills over into families' everyday lives - incorporating the Catholic Faith becomes a way of life! Children travel to four stations during the hour-long class: Explore Being Catholic, Time with God, Faith-Filled People, and Sharing God's Story. The suggested curriculum is from www.familyformation.net based out of St. Paul's Church in Ham, Minnesota. The program is recommended by the Diocese of Madison and recognized by the United States Council of Catholic Bishops.
