Here in the Macopin section of West Milford, our beautiful Catholic faith has been passed from one generation to the next since 1765. For this reason we call our faith formation process Generations of Faith !
Religious Education ? Faith Formation ? Yes ! Generations of Faith IS faith formation. What is different ? At Generations of Faith, parents - and sometimes grandparents - and children come together to learn about our Catholic faith.
Generations of Faith provides parents with the opportunity, information and resources needed to fulfill the promises made at their child’s baptism ~ to be the primary faith educators of their children.
We respond to the call of Jesus to follow him. Participation at Sunday Mass, regular reception of the sacraments, daily prayer, along with the practice of the spiritual and corporal works of mercy, are the essential ways we give witness to our love of Jesus.
Both the General Catechetical Directory and National Directory for Catechesis have given us a vision of what faith formation should be in the Catholic Church.
