With the help of Faith and Family Life Catholic Ministry’s Pathways program, Middle School Faith Formation is designed to provide a safe and fun place for youth to find a solid Catholic community, to get answers to their questions about faith, and most importantly, to experience Jesus in a profound and personal way.
Statistics outline that the average age youth leave the Church is only 13 years old! As middle school youth wade through all the difficulties of this time of life, they have real questions and need real answers. If parents and parish leaders ignore the unique challenges of our middle school youth, we risk losing them forever. Our family based catechesis helps build a foundation of faith that will guide our youth as they face many difficulties and help them as they begin to make decisions that affect the rest of their teen years.
Our goal is to help middle school students find their place in Church and their identity in Christ. Make a way with Made, an ongoing formation experience for the entire family. Families will be encouraged to embrace their identity as male and female, made in the image of God. They will be given the framework of a positive anthropology, providing anchor points for building a deeper and richer understanding of the human person. Watch families be woven together through activities and conversations as they experience more meaningful relationships and deeper peace, with Made.
REGISTRATION FORM for MSFF 2025-2026:
MADE (MS FAITH FORMATION):
Faith formation is an ongoing process. It is a family experience designed to bring light and life into your homes and hearts as you share the love of Jesus. This process will take place both at church and at home through regular family meetings and sessions guided by Pathways: MADE.
There are 10 at home family meetings and 2 sessions at church. Students need to attend all church sessions with at least one parent. These sessions are designed to help parents guide and support you on this journey of faith with your children. All of the materials needed for the home family meetings will be distributed prior to the first meeting. Please understand that all of these dates are important elements of the faith formation process. Make up opportunities will not be available.
In addition, to the above meetings and sessions, each family is expected to attend Mass every Sunday and on Holy Days at our parish home of Holy Trinity. It is also encouraged to attend at least one Family Gathering throughout the year. The goal is for Faith Formation Families and students to experience church as a Catholic Community. After all, WE ARE THE CHURCH!
