This year’s theme for Generations of Faith is This year’s theme is The Liturgical Year. “The liturgical year consists of a seasonal cycle and a sanctoral cycle, called the Proper of Time and the Proper of Saints, respectively. Both are organized and published in a liturgical calendar, which is also enriched by observances proper to local Churches, whether national, diocesan, parish-level, or religious community. The Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ—his suffering, death, and resurrection—is continuously proclaimed and renewed through celebrating the events of his life and in the feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the saints” (USCCB).
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.
