The first catechists in any child’s life are the family members with whom he or she lives. What happens at home, both positive and negative, provides lessons for life. In the family, faith is shared as part of the unfolding of daily life. The home or “domestic church” provides a real place in which a child learns to live his or her faith, as well as understanding it.
Our goal is to create a program of life-long faith formation that is centered in and flows out of the events of Church life. It embraces all ages and generations, promotes faith growth at home and participation in Church life.
In addition to home teaching, formal Confraternity of Christian Doctrine or CCD classes are taught by parishioners and attended throughout the school year by unconfirmed youth. These classes cover Catholic teaching at an age appropriate leve,l as well as, prepare catechists for various Sacraments.Currently CCD classes are Wednesday evenings during the school year at 6:30 pm at St. Patrick's Church in Havana for all parishes.
