This year’s theme for Generations of Faith is The Kingdom of God. If you’re not terribly sure what is meant by the Kingdom of God or how we are called to participate in it, you’re not alone.
Did you know that the phrase, “Kingdom of God” occurs 122 times in the New Testament? Did you know that 99 of these occurrences are found in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke)? Did you know that 90 of those 99 occurrences come from the mouth of Jesus? We will take a closer look at what Jesus preached about the Kingdom of God and the invitation he extends to each of us.
Each month we will offer two session times that your family can choose from.
Saturdays 5:15 pm-7:45 pm (meal & snacks included)
Sundays 9:30 am-11:45 am (breakfast & snacks included)
Both sessions begin with Mass, coming together as a community to pray and worship is vital to our participation in the Kingdom of God, so we strongly encourage all to attend. Both sessions begin with a meal after Mass, followed by breakout sessions. If you have dietary concerns about the meals, please let us know.

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.
