MISSION STATEMENT FOR THE MINISTRY of FAITH FORMATION

We who are called to participate in the Ministry of Faith Formation Program believe that growth and formation in faith, guided by the Spirit, is a lifelong journey, begun at birth and ending at death. By providing lifelong catechesis, we are committed to echoing the Gospel message to all, in order to nourish in them a faith that is living, conscious and active.

We believe that catechesis is a priority of evangelization. The call to live out our faith is a process involving informing, forming and transforming. It solicits experience and integration, and finds its expression in how we celebrate, how we pray and how we live out the values we espouse.

We believe the primary community where faith is nurtured, shared and lived out is within the family, supported by all faith formation ministers within St. Brendan parish.

We believe that faith is a "verb" involving active, hands on learning which demands a response in service to our local community and to the world at large.

We believe that faith is transmitted to us, modeled for us, and that by our Baptism we are called to contribute to the formation of disciples for building up the Kingdom of God.
