Family Formation
Here at Saint Jude, we offer Family Formation as our Religious Education Program for children.
Family Formation helps parents and children together grow in faith and love of God
by understanding and living their Catholic Faith.
Since parents are the first teachers of the faith to their children, Family Formation empowers parents to share the Good News and the beauty of the Catholic Faith at home. Through weekly Home Lessons and monthly Family Formation Nights at church, Family Formation strives to build strong families: families rooted in faith and in the joy and love of God.
