St. Columba has Generations of Faith as its primary form of Religious Education for the ENTIRE parish. Generations of Faith sessions take place once a month, from September until June. Follow this link to view the
Generations of Faith is an innovative approach to
faith formation that equips the parish to become a community of learning by
creating life-long faith formation that is centered in the events of church
life, that embraces all ages and generations, and that promotes faith growth at
home, through parish preparation programs, and, most importantly, through
participation in church life.
Our Generations of Faith sessions are offered on a monthly basis and participants have an opportunity to choose which of three sessions would be best for their household. All of our GoF sessions begin with a meal and an All-Ages Experience. Afterwards we usually split into age appropriate groups for more in-depth study of the month’s theme. Finally we come back together for sharing and closing prayer.
If you would like more information about St. Columba's Generations of Faith program, please contact Miss Rosina Hendrickson in the Religious Education Office (792-3065, youthcat@comcast.net ).
The
Generations of Faith website at www.generationsoffaith.org offers
information about the vision of lifelong learning, and has access to their forum site where you can read submissions from
GoF parishes
from across the country. (Not all
parts of the site are open to all – some parts of the site are open only to
subscribers.)
