Generations of Faith is a program that envisions the entire faith community as a learning community. It is based on the concepts of lifelong, intergeneration, event-centered faith formation. Generations of Faith is a parish faith formation program for everyone in the parish. It gives people of every age an opportunity to learn about their faith and to share insights about their Catholic faith and how they experience the challenges and blessings of daily life.
After the sessions, the summary and discussion questions for adults will be found on the website. Activities for children and teens will also be found on the website.
