"The Church teaches that the primary responsibility for the spiritual growth and development of the children rests first and foremost with the parents. Parents may share this responsibility with others, but they do not relinquish it." CCC #2223

St. William Parish Family Faith Formation works together with families to provide faith formation for children and their parents or guardians. Catechesis enables our faith to become living, conscious, and active -- especially through God’s Word in Scripture and the Tradition of the Catholic Church. Catechesis is a life-long process for each individual, and the work of the entire Catholic community.

Our program strives to work together with you, to become closer in Christian community to live as Jesus taught us: through love, faithfulness, scripture, faith-sharing and example.
Children are introduced to God by the knowledge that everything around them comes from God. Growing within the security of their family it is the opportunity for parents to begin introducing stories of Jesus. When you take your young children to Mass with you, they began to realize this is a special place where we gather with friends. Special actions and events happen gathered in this place. They watch you approach the altar to receive Jesus and they also want to be a part of Eucharist. Faith-filled events and daily happenings should permeate all of family life. This is where faith happens, within the family. We, at St. William’s recognize that you, as parents, are blessed to foster your children’s spiritual growth. We wish to be your partner and helper in this journey with your family. We offer opportunities through our Family Faith Formation for you, the parents to be nourished in your faith. This will allow you to be able to likewise nourish your children in their journey.
