  What is Family Formation?

Family Formation is a truly innovative preschool-6th grade Catholic religious education program developed at the Church of Saint Paul.  Based on the principle that "Parents are the primary educators in the faith" (GDC 255), Family Formation is designed to be used at home, in the domestic church.  Family Formation revolves around a weekly family gathering and home lesson, but this shared learning experience spills over into the family's everyday life.

 Family Formation: 
  • is written by parents, for use in families
  • follows the three-year liturgical cycle 
  • is driven by Sacred Scripture 
  • is faithful to the teaching of the Magisterium
  • references the Catechism of the Catholic Church
