Grow in Faith with Us

The Church teaches that “parents are the primary educators in the faith.” To that end, Family Faith Formation at Epiphany strives to partner with parents in their efforts to pass on the Catholic faith to their children. It does so by equipping parents with well-rounded, developmentally appropriate resources and the support they need within an active, supportive faith community. At the same time, parents receive ongoing formation to nourish and sustain their own faith life to help them feel more confident in their role as primary educators in the faith. There are family gatherings at the parish and additional lessons intended to be completed by children at home with parental guidance in approximately one hour or so per week. With parents, children, and the faith community working together in such an engaging context, our faith is more likely to take root and thrive in the lives of those directly involved and the wider parish community.

Our year of Family Faith Formation is from September - May. This includes First Reconciliation, First Communion preparation for 2nd graders, as well as Confirmation for our 8th graders who will be confirmed early in their 9th-grade year. Families gather for communal prayer in the Worship Center. Children and adults separate for faith formation according to age-appropriate levels in the Worship Center (English-speaking adults), Library (Spanish-speaking adults), Community Center (Preschool-7th grade), or Lighthouse (Confirmation candidates 2022 and 2023).
