Family Faith Formation Constancy of Purpose Statement
“The catechesis of adults … is the principal form of catechesis…. Family catechesisVision
precedes … accompanies and enriches all forms of catechesis.”
--St.John Paul II
Rooted in the most profound teachings of the Catholic Church on catechesis[1], the vision of Family Faith Formation (FFF) is a system of catechesis that:- Supports lifelong faith formation, the chief form of catechesis
- Provides ongoing formation for parents, the axis around which revolves the catechesis of childhood
- Supports parents in developing the domestic Church
- Nurtures a strong, complete, and systematic catechesis for the individual and within families forming them in a living, explicit, and fruitful confession of faith
- Provides six dimensions of faith formation including knowledge of the faith, liturgical life, moral formation, prayer, communal life, and missionary spirit
- Provides development in the threefold dimension of word, memory, and witness (doctrine, celebration, and commitment in life)
- Helps to build a vibrant parish community of faith and service
