Faith Formation at St. J's Looks different!

A ministry that provides children and their families with a comprehensive overview of our rich faith and tradition; to empower adults (i.e. parents/guardians, catechists, and other volunteers) with the tools needed to enhance their own faith experience while helping young people to develop their own personal relationship with Christ. To participate, contact saintjsfamilies@gmail.com or 617-773-1021.
We conduct our religious education program as the St John-St Joseph Catholic Collaborative … two separate parishes sharing a pastor and collaborating in our ministry to all parishioners.
Working together our program is held at St. John’s and provides faith education to parishioners of all ages. Each parish brings its own gifts and talents to this program. Many of our families are already neighbors, attend the same schools, and participate in the same activities. This is an opportunity to share faith experiences that are so important in building strong families.
Our Faith Formation Program is an essential part of the mission of our parishes. The goal of our program is to form our children to be disciples of Jesus Christ, capable of living life with Catholic-Christian values. Our program is rooted in family attendance at the celebration of Sunday Mass where each of us draws strength from the Gospel and the Eucharist.
We value our parents as the first and most important educators in their child’s faith development. Each year we review our program by listening to our parents, teachers, clergy, and parishioners. Working together we continue to strive to develop programs that involve families in the faith education of our children. Our parishes also reach out to all family members to provide education and sacrament preparation.
