St. Lucy’s believes that the Children’s Faith Formation or catechetical ministry is a share in Jesus’ own mission of proclaiming the Reign of God. The Church teaches that the primary responsibility for the spiritual growth and development of the children rests first and foremost with the parents. Parents may share this responsibility with others, but they do not relinquish it.
The Church assists parents in passing on their faith through the ministry of catechesis. Catechists help children build and strengthen their relationship with Jesus and the Church. Catechists do this by proclaiming the Word, building a sense of community, leading prayer and worship, encouraging loving service to others and through the example of their own lives.
Our catechists are all volunteers from many walks of life. They are people who have answered a call to minister to our children and who have prepared themselves in a variety of ways to serve as catechists. Above all, they are people for whom faith is important enough to share.
Conclusively, the catechetical process seeks to open children to the discovery of the goodness and beauty of God as reflected in their world and help them to experience this world within the Catholic Christian community.
