Families growing in faith together through prayer, time for learning, and family activities

Family Faith Formation materials fees are due no later than September 30, 2025.  Cash, checks (made payable to St. Brendan Parish), and credit card payments (a 3% transaction fee is added to all credit card payments) are accepted. Scholarships and payment plans are available – contact Mary Oldja for more information.

Family Faith Formation combines the best parts of our In-Person and Home School PSR as well as adding additional opportunities to enhance every member of the family’s faith life.

Family Faith Formation begins each September and will consist of the following:

• monthly Family Mass

• monthly family faith formation in person sessions (second Sunday morning or Monday evening each month)

• all family members from all participating families will join together for a prayer experience, lesson, and activities to take home to work on together

• time will be spent at home each week with the families reading the Sunday Gospel together and exploring various aspects of our faith using the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies as a guide

• family service opportunities will be offered throughout the year

Family Faith Formation, while meeting in person at St. Brendan only once each month, will involve family time each week throughout the academic year. Family Faith Formation expands the ages of those who can participate in religious education offered through the parish - no longer are we limited to only students in 1st -8th grades, but Preschool and Kindergarten students can participate as well as high school aged and adult family members. Family Faith Formation, while created to serve the families with students enrolled in the public or non-Catholic schools, is open to any family who would like to participate.
