Faith Formation Programs are not magic. They are not effective only because we "run programs". They are effective because of the people involved.
Faith Formation is facing a pivotal change, a shift from the practice of merely checking boxes and meeting minimum policy standards to an approach of building relationships with those we serve.
Whether you work with children, parents, teens, young adults, or older adults, this day will help you to embrace your role as a companion on the faith journeys of your parishioners. We will overview the values of relational ministry from our main speaker, Fr. Jon Seda. We will then hear from experts in the field about how they have been in relationship with specific target audiences. We will be joined by Bishop Pates for Mass as well.
The day will give FFLs the chance to network with one another, pick-up a few great ideas, and return with a renewed sense of mission to start the year.
Cost is $35. If the cost is prohibitive, please contact the Faith Formation Team to inquire about financial assistance.
