Family Formation is a whole-family approach to religious education, where formation is offered to everyone in the family age 3 and up.  A benefit to whole family catechesis is that, as part of the process, parents are better equipped to hand on their Catholic faith to their children.  Given today’s demands on the time a family spends together, we developed the Family Formation program to give parents time to grow in their faith while not drawing them away from “family time.” 

This program offers many unique features for religious education.  It includes a time for praise and worship and age-specific curriculum for children through 8th grade, and a choice of studies for high-schoolers and adults.  Family Formation also offers regularly scheduled “Family Nights” where the whole family stays together and has an opportunity for fellowship and worship with other families.  Family Formation provides families with a chance for experiencing community while each member develops tools for living our Catholic faith.

If you have additional questions or are interested in participating in this program, please call Jim Blase at 458-2977 x227 or email him at jblase@stalbanroe.org.   Do not contact the PSR department, as this is a separate option from PSR.  This program provides preparation for reception of the Sacraments, as needed.
