The Diocese remains committed to implementing the curriculum using these four methods:

• Family-Centered Learning

  Faith formation begins in the home, the Domestic Church. How do we support parents in effectively sharing and strengthening their faith?

 

• Connection to Sunday Community

  Mass is the "source and summit" of our faith - how are we connecting children and families to the Sunday community?

 

• Diversified Learning Strategies

  Today's faith formation must continue to  be well-planned and intentional, with a variety of options and methods available.

 

• Worthwhile Service

  Service that allows our faith to be put into action is significant; coupled with theological reflection, we encounter Christ.
