Founded in God’s Love—Growing Together in God’s Love
Who will tell the story to the next Generation?
Welcome to our fifth year of Generations of Faith! To date, more
than 2100 people (of all ages) have gathered to share a meal,
learn, pray, celebrate and serve! Generations of Faith is a comprehensive
program of faith formation that involves all the generations of
our community in learning and growing together through experiences
and participation in Church life. It is focused on the
educative power of the church community: the feasts and seasons of the church year, sacraments and liturgy, prayer and spirituality, justice and service, proclamation of the Word and community life.
All the generations, you say? Just who does that include?!
Well … that means: Everyone, Singles, Families, Couples, Kids, Everyone, Grandparents, Parents, Teenagers, Parishioners, Empty Nesters, Expectant Parents, Retired People, Everyone, Visitors, the Curious from other parishes, Everyone!
Schedule Time for Spirituality
We’re all busy. Work. Sports. Caregiving. School. Juggling your calendar may keep you organized, but are you fulfilled?
Reward yourself from going through the motions of our daily routine. Generations of Faith offers the perfect opportunities to schedule some time for spirituality. Give yourself a couple of hours a few times a year. Schedule it in. Reconnect with your family. Refresh your knowledge and practice of faith. Reflect on your life and blessing from God. Reward yourself by trying a Generations of Faith program.
