Ablaze Family Faith Formation is designed to reinvigorate the family as a place of faith and celebration in the life of the Church. This is for all families of the parish, both School and PSR.

Family Ablaze is structured around two pillars: Faith and Feasting.

Families will receive two bags per month, and families can pick up their bag immediately following any Mass on Sunday.

Here's an example of what your bags will look like each month:

1st Bag:

• Faith
• 10-15min video on a topic
• 2 activities to complete throughout the month to reinforce teaching
• Feasting
• Saint or Feast Day story
• Gospel from one of the Sundays w/ discussion questions
• Idea for a Family Night or Feast Day celebration
• Table tent with summary of these three things on each side
• Holy Card of Saint/Feast

2nd Bag:

• Feasting
• Saint or Feast Day story
• Gospel from one of the Sundays w/ discussion questions

Family Ablaze is Easy, Adaptable, and Fruitful.

Easy

• We designed this program to be super easy for parents. There are no textbooks or lesson plans to complicate your life. 
• We are going to provide you with simple ways to increase the presence of Jesus and the Church into your home. 

Adaptable

• One of the best things about this is that these simple actions fit into your everyday life – and become a part of your everyday life. 
• Ablaze provides ways to open up new and different pathways for God to bless your life in ways you may never have imagined.

• Home educated youth are 7x more likely to continue living the faith
