Holy Cross Catholic Church

MISSION:

 

• To educate and strengthen our youth in the Catholic Faith

• To experience the living presence of God through Liturgy and the Sacraments

• To learn to value both Scripture and Tradition

 

The Holy Cross Youth Faith Formation Program (formerly known as the "Religious Education Program") supports the faith journey of our parish children as they learn to identify more closely with both the Catholic Faith and the Catholic community by participating in weekly religious education classes, special activities, and sacramental preparation.

 

The objective of the program is that all students experience Jesus in their lives so that they may live, and bear witness to, the Gospel message. The success of the program depends on the involvement and active support of the entire parish community through prayer, service as volunteer teachers, and participating in special program events, and as role models in the faith formation process.

 

While many of the volunteers to this Youth Faith Formation Mission make a significant commitment of their time to teach weekly classes, there are opportunities for parishioner involvement in a much more limited role. There are opportunities to assist with the preparation of particular events and activities.

 

VOLUNTEERS:

 

• Youth Faith Formation Teachers

• Substitute Youth Faith Formation Teachers

• Administrative help with the Youth Faith Formation Program

• Volunteers to aid at special events

 

Any parishioner who would like to know more about opportunities to participate in this mission call the Youth Faith Formation office at 372-6239 or  783-4111, Ext. 121.

 

Members of the Youth Faith Formation Committee take great satisfaction in watching families and children grow in their faith.
