Home Based Catechesis
In addition to the Sunday and Wednesday class times, there is another option for families: Home Based Catechesis. Home-based Catechesis is for those families who cannot participate in the primary parish catechesis program or who choose to provide catechesis for their children at home. Parents who choose the home-based catechetical model are referred to as home-based catechists. Parents are the teachers. Parents lead their child through each chapter and work through the lessons together.
Home-based catechists (parents) are expected to participate in Sunday Eucharist and other experiences of prayer, learning and service that build community and Christian life. Home-based catechists (parents) are encouraged to engage in adult faith formation opportunities such as catechetical courses, retreats or days of reflection offered by the parish, other parishes or the Diocese. Contact the director to register for Home Based Catechesis.
