Generations of Faith: Enriching, Engaging, Educating All Ages

Our Vision: Generations of Faith embraces a vision of lifelong faith formation for our community.
Here at St. Matthew’s, our faith formation program is designed to educate, engage and enrich all ages. 
Wherever you are in your faith journey – just starting out or seasoned and still searching for God everyday – our program welcomes everyone to learn, grow and live in faith together. 
​​All are welcome!

GOF shifts the focus...
...from children learning in isolation to an intergenerational model of faith formation for all ages: children and adults learning and growing in faith across the generations.
...from "drop off and pick up" to active participation of the whole family in faith learning.
...from "graduation" from religion class to lifelong and continuous formation.
​...from faith formation as a separate program to a holistic and integrated approach that involves the whole parish.


Generations of Faith 2022-2023:

This year’s theme for Generations of Faith is Prayer and Spirituality. These two dimensions of our faith are dependent on each other and are essential to our relationship with the Trinity and all those we encounter. We will be exploring different types of prayer and how prayer brings us into a deeper relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We will also discuss how our relationship with the Trinity affects our relationships with others. Spirituality is a dimension of our faith that we are not in the habit of discussing. As a result, may times we are not sure what is meant by spirituality or how it affects our relationships. We will discuss different spiritualities and spiritual practices throughout the year.

Each month we will offer two session times that your family can choose from.
Saturdays 5:00pm-8pm (meal & snacks included)
Sundays 9am-11:30am (snacks included)

Both sessions begin with Mass, coming together as a community to pray and worship is vital to our faith, so we strongly encourage families to attend. Because the Saturday sessions go into the evening, we will gather for a meal in the parish hall after Mass, then have our breakout learning sessions. Sunday mornings we will have snacks, not a meal, which is why Sundays are a half-hour less.
