We are not born with faith.  Faith is "planted;" it grows and develops as we do, and it changes as we grow.  The faith of a young child is different from the faith of an older child, a young adult, or a mature adult.  This growth occurs because our experience of faith and our ability to consciously reflect on, or think about, faith develops gradually as we grow. 

The children's Faith Formation Program here at Our Lady of the Valley Parish is meant to foster and nurture that growth and to assist parents in their role as the primary educators of their children in faith. 

        CHILDREN'S RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PLAN FOR 2020-2021 SEASON

HOME: Students will work through lessons in the We Believe book series and/or use available resources from the parish website.

ZOOM: Students will engage in a virtual meeting via Zoom where the goal is to review materials from home instruction and connect students together.

CRAFT AND PRAYER: Students will be offered an in-person opportunity at the St. Ann’s School to work on a craft with fellow members of the children’s ministry group.  Students will be given all materials to assemble the craft. The crafts will be multi-aged and geared toward connecting lessons from the curriculum.  Students will be asked to wear a mask while at the gathering and will also be physically distanced to ensure safety.
