Many pastors and catechists have
come to the conclusion that the typical CCD model of catechesis is
simply not effective. In searching for alternatives, they are
frustrated and disheartened by the lack of good, solid Catholic
teaching materials and curriculum that are available to use in their
efforts to teach the Faith. They have discovered that parents are
often floundering in their efforts to live out and pass on the faith to
their children, and that they too are in need of sound Catholic
teaching.
Family Formation offers
a fresh, new approach to catechesis—it is family-based, has an adult
education component at its core, is founded on the truth and teachings
of the Catholic Church, and strengthens families to become the domestic
churches our Holy Father has called them to be. This unique,
challenging, and creative curriculum is designed to make living the
faith a way of life and a life-long learning adventure.

Since
parents
have given children their life, they are bound by the
most serious obligation to educate their offspring and therefore must
be recognized as the primary and principal educators.
