Twice a month, on Wednesday evenings, families gather in person and focus on teachings of the faith and concrete ways to live them out in their day-to-day lives. The sessions offer the opportunity to meet with other parents and catechists and carve out family time to build a foundation of faith together. The sessions are interactive and fun and begin with dinner!
Our goal is to provide parents ways to grow in their faith and equip them to share the Catholic Faith with their children. Our catechists will encourage and guide you through the process.
Registration fees are based upon the number of children you are entering into the GIFT program.
"We tried the completely self-guided format for one year (Home Study) and it didn't go well. Our family recognized that we needed the structure of set intervals of meetings/classes with others families with the same goals that (the) GIFT class offers. (I)t motivates us to work through the curriculum.
(Our) kids are in so many activities that if we don't have a structured schedule for our faith, it can too easily get pushed to the back burner. We have been doing GIFT class for several years and it is the best option for our family."
from David, a current parent & parishioner
