Lifelong Faith Formation is the process by which we as Christians define our journey from Baptism through to the Kingdom of Heaven. Lifelong Faith development renews and revitalizes generational faith from the youngest child desiring First Holy Communion, to the teenager being formed for Confirmation, or the the adult searching for guidance and a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ. Lifelong Faith development helps us to live our mission as disciples of the Kingdom.
At Catholic Weymouth (Immaculate Conception & Saint Jerome) students are invited to participate in Faith Formation during each school year. Students recieve the Sacraments of First Penance and First Holy Communion in their 2nd Grade Year and the Sacrament of Confirmation after their 10th Grade Year.
To facilitate the evangelization of parents through catechesis that encourages them to understand faith is a relationship with God and one another and through knowledge of each we grow in holiness. As parents grow in holiness this is shared through word and action with their children.
Growth in holiness begins with the Mass; we are people of the Mass and as such we demonstrate our love for one another by first demonstrating our love for God through regular attendance at Mass. All of our programs from Grade 1 through Youth Ministry will derive their grace and energy from the "source and summit of our faith," the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
Our Youth Ministry program is an opportunity for young people to become part of an accepting community where everyone is welcome and called to healthy relationships and holiness through prayer, service and fun.
Adults of all ages who are seeking a community of good friends, prayer and common learners. We have a wide variety of programs that call us to enrich our understanding of the faith and grow in holiness. These include RCIA, Adult Confirmation and Scripture Study.
