Encounter

Engage

Embrace

Here we will focus on the learning and teaching of our faith. Our class activities focus on sacred scripture, especially on the New Testament, church doctrine and history and how it is relevant to our lives today.

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. Through engagement, we experience the 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.

Here we take the first two pieces and live our lives courageously as Catholics as Jesus has taught us. We must embrace others fully as a way of being and living. Our charge is to go out into the world and be God’s light – this is where we put into action and accept a new way of life as a Catholic. Service is an integral component of this theme.

You will note that these are all verbs, words of action. We practice, live and grow our faith by actively participating in growing in relationship with Christ. We invite you and your family to join us as we encounter, engage, and embrace this new year of faith formation.
