I'd like to use
Family Formation with my family, but my DRE is
wondering why I'm not enrolled in my parish's program. What would
you recommend?
We recommend that you stay in a
good relationship with your parish through friendly communication with
your pastor and DRE. With a positive attitude you can visit with
them, letting them know that you are home schooling your children for
religious ed using Family Formation. Show them samples of
lessons, direct them to our web site, or have them call us for further
information. Remember, you always have the option of doing both
CCD and Family Formation.
I have a 4 year old.
Do I
need to use Little Lambs?
Not necessarily. If you have
older children doing Family Formation, you can just include your
preschooler in the fun games, stories, and activities the rest of your
family is doing. If your 4-year-old is our oldest child, we
recommend beginning with Little Lambs.
I'd like to encourage
my
DRE to use this for our parish program.
How should I go about that?
A good way to begin this is to
become familiar with Family Formation yourself. By using it with
your family you will become a good witness to the effectiveness of
Family Formation. Your DRE or priest can get more information by
visiting to our website and then by contacting program director Anne Rocha
at 763-757-1148 or anne@churchofsaintpaul.com
