Program Description
The primary model for Religious Education & Youth Faith Formation at St. Isaac Jogues is that of age appropriate group learning sessions held on our campus.
The year offers Masses, confessions for the children during both Advent and Lent and other devotional practices throughout the year. These will be communicated to families ~ families are invited and encouraged to participate with the children in these liturgical and devotional practices. If a family cannot participate in the primary program, then they may educate and form their children in the faith through the At Home program. Participants in this program are encouraged to join in the liturgical and devotional events scheduled on campus throughout the year. At Home families are guided to follow a calendar that parallels the on-campus program, completing a chapter from the text each week, along with submitting chapter reviews in a timely manner. Even though the at home learning is done within individual families, it is very important that families stay on schedule, so the child experiences systematic and consistent learning; participation in the on campus liturgical and devotional events is also important, so that the child and his/her family can recognize that they are a vital part of their parish community, their church family.
