FAITH FORMATION
Pre-school Holy Rosary Parish offers faith formation classes for preschool 3’s and 4’s of the parish Sunday mornings during the 9:30 Mass from October to May. Adult/high school volunteers of the parish teach the sessions. The skills needed for this ministry are a desire for and love of working with young children 3 and 4 years of age in the area of faith formation. A user-friendly program is in place along with a variety of other materials.
Holy Rosary offers faith formation sessions on Sunday mornings for kindergarten through grade 6 children who do not attend a Catholic School. The sessions are offered from late September through May with adult volunteers from the parish teaching these classes. A desire to work with young children in passing on the faith is a definite requirement in this ministry. Call to Faith is the current program in place and very user-friendly for the teachers. Our Sunday faith formation program is also in need of administrative, behind-the scenes work, i.e. helping to prepare for parent meetings, working in the office on Sunday mornings while classes are in session. For further information or to volunteer, please contact JoAnn Tobin.

The mission of the Adult Faith Formation Commission is to develop rewarding programs and catechesis that enrich the spiritual lives of adult members of the parish. The Commission is guided by “Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us,” a pastoral plan for Adult Faith Formation, issued by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in 1999. We’re interested in a diverse group of parish members, representing all age groups. We are looking for those who have a passion for exploring new ways of presenting adult religious education in the Catholic tradition and would work well in a team environment. The Commission members will be developing the parish’s plan for adult faith formation in the coming months and we are always looking for creative ideas from the Holy Rosary faith community.
Returning Catholics Holy Rosary offers at various times during the year a series of sessions to help the returning Catholic return to the sacraments and regular church attendance. Sessions on the Mass, liturgy and the Eucharist, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, prayer and Scripture are among the topics covered plus an opportunity for participants to share their stories. Holy Rosary staff and volunteers from the parish facilitate the sessions. The ministerial needs for the Returning Catholic are good listening skills, a non-judgmental attitude and a comfort level in facilitating small groups. |
