Generations of Faith -
Whole Community Catechesis and Life Long Learning
This program is approved for children in first and second grades in preparation for the sacraments, and also for elementary students in the higher grade levels. (Second graders preparing for Sacraments and enrolled in GOF are are required to attend scheduled classes and Parent Workshops.) It is our sincerest hope that families will choose to participate in both FFY and GOF. The curriculum for GOF is different from what children in FFY will be learning from their text books. Children and their parents share in the learning experience, discussing and studying a different topic each month. A monthly home kit of materials helps families engage in more meaningful participation in church liturgies and events and helps them reflect on and apply the significance and meaning of these events for their lives as Catholics. This program is open to all St. Mark parishioners - singles, couples and families. (It is also open to members of other parishes.) GOF offers an opportunity for diverse groups to continue learning about their faith together. Participants gather together in the Parish Hall to first share a meal. After an opening prayer, groups divide for the evening's lesson. Preschoolers and teens meet with catechists for group activities and discussions. Elementary students sometimes go into classrooms with catechists, or might stay in the Parish Hall with parents for a combined activity and learning session. Adults meet with group facilitators to discuss the evening's topic. All return to the Parish Hall for a closing. This year's theme will be on the History of the Papacy. Registration is required. (Parish membership and registration is required for families with children preparing for the Sacraments.)
