Faith Formation GRADES PRE-K-8
It has been wonderful seeing the children of our parish at St. Lawrence over the past several weeks participating in the Mass, the Ice Cream Social, VBS, Antioch, etc. We missed them this last school year. As we look to next year, we are planning for IN PERSON programs in the fall that are safely in compliance with all New Jersey State, CDC, and Paterson Diocesan guidelines.
The Faith Formation Team recognizes that the celebration of the Eucharist is central to our children’s spiritual life and growth in faith. When children attend Mass, they experience elements such as scripture readings, homily, reflection, music, and prayer, which all help to deepen their relationship with Jesus and learn more about their role in the Church, the community, and the world. In receiving the Eucharist, the Real Presence of Jesus, one receives graces and is strengthened in virtue and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Thus, Mass is the foundational component of our catechesis program and included as part of your child's formation. Not attending Mass can be compared to reading a book on how to swim without actually getting in the water. At St. Lawrence, we strive to fully prepare our children for an active life in Christ so that whatever challenges they encounter in their lifetime, they will instinctively turn to Jesus for strength, guidance, and peace. Other components of our program, including religious instruction and faith experiences, are provided to convey the teachings and example for living out our Catholic faith.
