FAMILY AND CHILDREN FAITH FORMATION (FF) CORE TOPICS

All parents of children in classroom based Faith Formation programs must attend three (3) of the following CORE topic meetings. The requirements are met by family, not by child, so no matter how many children you have in our programs, you are still only required to attend three (3) Faith Formation events and activities. Download the letter regarding CORE topics sent to parents in March, 2012.

We offer a variety of programs and educational opportunities that count toward your CORE topics, including:

• The Sacramental preparation meetings (First Communion, Reconciliation, Confirmation) count as a CORE topic.
• The required Learning about L.I.F.E. classes count as a CORE topic.
