Faith Formation

                                  

For the 2017-18 year, the Church focuses on the theme "Living As Missionary Disciples." The mission of St Theresa's Faith Formation program is to bring the “Good News” of God’s love to all children and their families and to call them to commit their lives to Christ. 

• Education of children includes formation in knowledge and practice of their faith, including participation in Sunday Mass and frequent confession, and a life of virtue in accordance with the teachings of the Church

• Christian parents/guardians are the primary but not the exclusive educators of their children. They carry out their role in communion with the Church and her pastors, who have a responsibility to ensure that the education offered to the young is in accordance with Church teaching.

• Parents/guardians are assisted by their pastors, from the spiritual riches of the Church, to receive ongoing Christian formation and to choose the means and institutes which can best promote the Catholic education of their children.

• Under the direction of the pastor, Catholic schools, religious education programs, and youth ministry programs should provide assistance as catechetical partners with parents or guardians.
