Church of St. Mary at 510 Prospect Ave., Alma, MI 48801 US - Family Catechesis

In the past, St. Mary's has offerred a program of religious education that involves parents more directly in the instruction of their children. Family catechesis meets once a month for 2 hours of intergenerational learning and discussion. Parents follow up at home with instructional materials for their children. Family Catechesis is based on the premise that faith is caught and not taught, and it is caught from those people who are closest to us. The time that children and parents spend together is not lesson time but sharing time. It is an opportunity for parents to share the most precious gift they have...their faith. Registration fees are $30 for one child and $60 for two or more children. If you are interested in learning more about this program, please call Marilyn Lorenz at 463-8220.
