    • FAITH FORMATION'S THREE-PART MODEL

      Faith Formation at Holy Name of Mary parish fosters a life-long journey of discipleship for the whole family.  Our primary mission is encounters with Christ, and our offerings encourage prayer, Bible reflections, rituals, service and faith conversations to take place in the family, both at church events and in the home.  We view our role as supporting the crucial role of parents in the faith growth of their children.  Our 2022-23 program includes the following three components: 

    • In-person, age-specific sessions led by faith-filled volunteers.

      • Available in English - All levels/ages
      • Available in Spanish (Elementary First Communion ONLY)
    • Gatherings to grow families of disciples

      • October Launch Event for all families
        • Option 1: Friday, October 14th from 5:30 - 7:00pm
        • Option 2: Sunday, October 16th from 2:30 - 4:00pm
        • Option 3: Monday, October 17th from 6:30 - 8:00pm
      • November - May: multiple options available for your family to choose from in English and Spanish.
    • Opportunities for parents/guardians to deepen their connection to Christ

        • Advent Parish Mission

    • VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

      We need you to volunteer to share your faith! What does it mean to be a catechist or helper? Catechists and helpers are disciples of Jesus who are living out the call to share the Good News with young people.  The primary qualifications are a love of the Lord and a desire to nurture the faith of children.  Materials and trainings are provided. 

      To pray and discuss if this ministry is right for you, please call Melanie Bailey.
