         Encounter

             Engage

               Embrace

​ ENCOUNTER - Here we will focus on the learning     aspect of our faith.  Our class activities focus on Church doctrine, sacred scripture, especially on
the New Testament, and our salvation history and how it is relevant to our lives today.  At
​this stage, we are introducing our teens to the "living" encounter with Christ and His saving love.

​ENGAGE - Here we take what we have learned from the Encounter phase and put it into action by “practicing” our faith on both an individual  and community  level that is the true setting of our life of faith. Through engagement, we experience the progressive conversion of heart Jesus speaks to as we align our lives and goals more closely with the life of Jesus.   At this step, we go to Mass, engage in prayer activities,  journal, and examine how we “actively practice” our faith.

EMBRACE - ​At this stage, we guide each individual as they embrace their own unique "response of faith" by recognizing how the Holy Spirit is acting to transform them from within.  Through self-realization, we understand our life's purpose and can embrace our mission of courageously living the Gospel.  As Jesus has no exclusions to His saving love, we, too, must fully embrace ALL people.  Our charge is to go out into the world and let God’s light and love shine through our actions.  This is how we show the world we are Catholic, this is how we promote the Kingdom of God on earth.  Service is an integral component of this theme.
​
​​These are all verbs, WORDS of ACTION.  We practice, live, and grow our faith by actively fostering our relationship with Christ. 
We invite you and your family to join us as we ENCOUNTER, ENGAGE, and EMBRACE this new year of FAITH FORMATION.
