La Parroquia Católica de Emaús tiene el privilegio de apoyarlo mientras ayuda a su hijo a crecer en el amor y la comprensión de Dios y la riqueza de nuestra fe católica. Por lo tanto, las opciones que ofrecemos para la formación en la fe de su hijo buscan complementar el trabajo esencial que ya está haciendo.

Nuestro Programa de Formación de la Fe se esfuerza por ayudar a su hijo a crecer tanto en el conocimiento y el amor de Dios como en una conciencia más profunda de la importancia de la comunidad y el servicio en la vida de un católico.

La clase se concentra en los 4 pilares de la iglesia:

• El Credo - lo que creemos (historia de la Biblia - Línea de tiempo)
• Oración - cómo nos comunicamos con Dios (oraciones, devociones)
• Sacramentos - cómo celebramos nuestra fe (fundamentos católicos)
• Moralidad cristiana: cómo vivimos nuestra fe (vida cotidiana y servicio)

Para establecer y construir una comunidad, se recomienda la participación de la familia en lo siguiente:

• Se requiere la asistencia de todas las clases
• Asistir a las sesiones de padres
• Asiste a un evento cada mes de Familia y Fe
