Family Formation

We take great joy in teaching children about God’s love and a love for their faith. Beginning in the 2022-23 school year, all elementary religious education sessions are part of Family Formation. You are the most important people in your child’s life! We hope participating in religious education at St. Catherine of Siena helps your entire family grow in faith. 

Family Formation classes for the school year begin in September and continue until the end of April, with some breaks for holidays. Classes have mixed ages, allowing for a more natural dynamic for children to learn together and learn from each other. All elementary siblings will be in the same class with the exception of Kindergarten, and materials are provided for all classes. All Kindergarten students will be in a class with children their age. There will be alternating family classes and child classes, so every other week parents are expected to come to St. Catherine’s. During the family classes, catechists will lead the children in a lesson while parents receive adult formation. Adult formation may include a talk, a service activity, or pedagogical methods to engage their children at home for the following week. During the child-only sessions, parents are expected to bring their children to their designated class day and time. Catechists will then engage children in a lesson. It is crucial for parents to engage in material outside of these class sessions. Therefore, parents will be given materials, topics, and prayers to engage their children throughout the week. It is our goal that parents feel supported and able to effectively pass on the Faith to their children. Catechists will teach each session throughout the month, though in future years we will be expecting parents to be more involved in the catechetical formation of their children. Monthly, catechists may check in on the family to see how the lessons went, if there were topics that were particularly challenging for the family, or if the parents or children need any other support.

St. Catherine of Siena

A soul rises up, restless with tremendous desire for God's honor and the salvation of souls. St. Catherine dedicated her life to serving those in need. She served as a nurse in homes and hospitals, and looked out for the destitute. She spread her knowledge and love of God through her work and her writings. At the age of seven we are told that St. Catherine vowed her virginity to God. At eighteen, she received the Dominican habit. She then began to live in solitude and silence in her room, going out only for mass. But somewhere, somehow, in this silence she learned to read. This silence ended in 1368 in her "mystical espousal" to Christ, after which she suddenly rejoined her family at home and gave herself to the service of the poor and sick.
