 St. Joan of Arc Christian Formation

In line with the national trend in Catholic education, we are moving our parish toward a model of Whole Community Catechesis. To that end, the highest priority for all families at St. Joan of Arc will be placed on worship. Attendance at Mass is the most important form of catechesis for all ages in a Catholic parish.

Our 2009-2010 schedule for religious instruction is being finalized. The final schedule will be published shortly.
 
We have designed our program as a means of “living the faith, not just providing book knowledge and tradition.” We welcome you to call for more information.

Characteristics of Whole Community Catechesis

  • Sunday Mass is the most important gathering of the Christian Community.
  • The total parish is involved in learning and sharing about the faith.  Every age in the parish is involved, not just children and youth. 
  • Families are the domestic church.  Home is where faith happens on a continuing basis.
  • Christian Formation is not an optional parish program with a beginning and an end.  Continual faith formation is part of being Christian.
  • Formal Christian Formation is offered in the following ways:

    • Religious Education classes for K4 through 8th grade
    • High School Religious Education classes for grades 9-11, including preparation for Confirmation
    • Adult Formation
    • RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) and RCIA for children
