What is Faith Formation?
Faith formation does take many forms, some formal, some as life presents itself under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. To know God, therefore to love God, therefore to serve God in love is the the Christian path. Under Catholic Canons:
“The Christian faithful since they are called by baptism to lead a life in conformity with the teachings of the gospel, have the right to a Christian education by which they will be properly instructed so as to develop the maturity of a human person and at the same time come to know and live the mystery of salvation” (Canon 217).
At St. James, we look to provide the opportunity for that instruction through our Religious Education for the children, OCIA for the adults, and Confirmation classes for the high school students. Our instruction is based on approved materials according to USCCB.
We are always looking for more opportunities for Faith Formation in our parish, so please feel free to make suggestions or volunteer for activities.
