This process equips the parish to become a community of learners by creating lifelong faith formation that is centered in the events of Church life; embraces all ages and generations; promotes fellowship; promotes faith growth at home through parish preparation programs and, most importantly, through participation in Church life. The curriculum is based on the teachings from the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
