Dear GIFT Friends!

Our faith formation program, GIFT (Growing in Faith Together) will be delivered online this year. We will adapt our program to best serve you during this time of transition to school and the unknown environment of the Covid-19 pandemic. We want you all to feel supported, safe and faith-filled. Our program will meet you where you are at and offer elements to help you grow in faith as an individual, couple and family. For well over a decade we have provided a lifelong, family-centered process that empowers parents/guardians to pass on faith to their children. Our delivery will be different but it will helpful, useful, conversational and fun. As always our intergenerational program will have an adult component for those without children. Remaining connected to your faith community is essential now and always. We are committed to accompanying you through this uncertain time and are excited to begin a year focused on what we believe as Catholic Christians. Each month we will focus on an I believeIb, statement in The Apostles Creed: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Church, Ever-lasting Life will frame our learning. Age-appropriate, inter-generational and relationship-focused learning opportunities will provide a year that focuses on the essential beliefs coached by our pastoral leaders and teaching ministers.
