Catholic Faith Formation (CFF)
The mission of the Religious Education Program of Holy Family Parish is to assist parents in the religious, moral, and spiritual formation of their children. Parents are the primary educators of their children, teaching by word and example. Our Parish Catechists support the parents and students by providing quality religious education in nurturing a faith-filled environment. Through the cooperative effort of parents, catechists, and students, our children will grow in their love for God and knowledge of their Catholic faith, develop their God-given gifts and talents, and live as contributing, respectable citizens through their commitment to service as Catholic Christians; along with other acts of kindness projects.Confirmation
The Sacrament of Confirmation along with the sacraments of Baptism and the Eucharist constitute the “Sacrament of Initiations.” The reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For, by the Sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence, they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed. Confirmation more perfectly binds the faithful to the Church, and it enriches them with a special strength in the Holy Spirit to enable all of God's children to proclaim and defend the Gospel of Jesus Christ more boldly.
