The role of the Faith Formation Commission is to coordinate our ministries and groups involved in the formation of Catholic faith of parishioners of all ages.   The Faith Formation Commission provides encouragement, vision, and direction to staff and leadership involved in these ministries.  This year our focus is to encourage collaboration and creativity between all of our groups and ministries. Our goals and objectives for 2010 and beyond are:

• Offer all catechists Catechetical Certification through the Archdiocese of Seattle

 

• Design and implement a written program for the safety of the children and catechists in case of an emergency

 

• Invite all faith formation families in the fall  2010 to a BBQ as a get-to- know-you social.

 

• Implement Social Justice service projects for all faith formation students and families

 

• Offer a retreat for Faith Formation parents in the fall 2010  

 

• Work to expand facilities for increasing number of faith formation students.

By teaching Catholic beliefs, traditions, and values, the Faith Formation Commission seeks to invite and empower members of our parish to strengthen their relationship with God and to enhance their spiritual life.
