St John the Baptist is embarking on a true 21 st century Faith Formation Program. These developments are in response to the Church’s renewed efforts on moving from a traditional classroom model that focused primarily on cognitive development to true comprehensive faith formation—multi-ministry, multi-component parish-based model that is suitable to the needs and capabilities of twenty-first century families/parishioners.
PflaumFaith Formation Program provides fully developed faith formation programming for children through young adults that respects the needs, commitments, and competing priorities of today’s families the best. Along with enabling families to be active agents in forming the faith of their children it enables the parish to be a helpful partner with families in faith formation efforts.
Each lesson in the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies Faith Formation program flows from the words of Jesus Christ in the Sunday Gospels. The children learn their faith-including instructions in doctrine, sacraments, commandments, and prayer—within the rhythms and seasons of the Liturgical Year, encouraging a growing participation in the life of the parish community. Included with their weekly pamphlets is an activity book for each level. Catholic identity projects help children appreciate the importance and beauty of being Catholic. The systematic liturgical catechesis, family centered, Gospel driven lessons enrich participation and deeper understanding of the Mass.
