    Whole Family Catechesis 
    Faith Formation at St. Bernadette 
    • The Object of Catechesis is communion with Jesus Christ. Catechesis leads
      people to enter the mystery of Christ, to encounter him, and to discover
      themselves and the meaning of their lives in him


      -National Directory of Catechesis, 55

    • What is Whole Family Catechesis?
      • Welcome to Whole Family Catechesis here at St. Bernadette Catholic Church! For our 2022-2023 season we will have all of our gatherings on campus with an available home-study option if you prefer. 

        Whole Family Catechesis is the method of Faith Formation practiced here at St. Bernadette Catholic Church. We believe that the family is the primary context in which faith formation takes place. With Whole Family Catechesis as our model, we at St. Bernadette will support you and your family in your journey of faith formation. 

        "Faith Formation" is a common term used amongst Catholic Churches that refers to the systematic catechesis of the Catholic faith for all ages. Here at St. Bernadette, to register for "Faith Formation" is to register for Whole Family Catechesis which encompasses all ages from PreK-Adult.

        During our year together we will have days of Age Specific Catechesis, Together, and Take Home.
        Age Specific Catechesis (ASC) are the days noted where we will breakout into age specific ministries for that particular day.
        Together (T) are the days noted where the entire family will be together for that particular day.
        Take Home (H) are days where there will be a curated, special page sent out through Evangelus where the topic/activities for that day will be sent to be done as a family at home.

        We offer multiple opportunities for every member of your family to grow in faith. Every opportunity aligns with the mission and vision of Whole Family Catechesis - to support you, the family, in your faith formation journey towards Christ.

    • When will it be?
      • We plan to have Whole Family Catechesis for preK - Adults weekly on Sundays between 4:00pm - 5:15pm Beginning Sept. 18th. 

        • Additional morning times for Elementary: 9:40am - 10:55pm
        • Additional times for PreK: 8:30-9:30 am, 9:45-10:45 am, 11am -12pm, and 4-5:15 pm. 
          • All the classes are dependent on a class size requirement/limit and having adequate number of catechists.

        Home Study Option: 

        • For families that cannot attend the scheduled class times, we also offer a HomeStudy program.  These lessons will be taught at home, with a parent/guardian.  In-person get togethers will be scheduled a few times a year to pick up lessons, share the faith, and build community.

        During our year together we will have days of:  Age Specific Catechesis (ASC) and Together (T)

        • Age Specific Catechesis (ASC) are the days noted where we will breakout into age specific ministries (Prek-Adult) for that particular day.
        • Together (T) are the days noted where the entire family will be together for that particular day.
        • Take Home (H) are days where there will be a curated, special page sent out through Evangelus where the topic/activities for that day will be sent to be done as a family at home.

        For the full 2022-2023 schedule please go to the registration page HERE
