Family-Based Faith Formation Registration
Attendance at Feed Your Faith Events is required as part of the Family-Based Curriculum. All Feed Your Faith events include dinner for the whole family. Because of the added expense of providing a family dinner, the fees for Home-Base Faith Formation are slightly higher than the fees for In-Person Faith Formation Classes. Registration for Family-Based is pending approval.

Children’s Faith Formation: Catechist, Assistants, Substitutes & Helpers
Please consider becoming a catechist, or assistant and help our children on their faith journey.
“The catechist, then, is a Christian who is mindful of God, who is guided by the memory of God in his or her entire life and who is able to awaken that memory in the hearts of others.”- Pope Francis
Are you one of somebody’s “Five”? Are you open to making a difference in the life of a child? Studies show that while parents are the most important influence in a child’s life, every child needs 5 other adults in their lives to guide them along the way. There are many ways to do this – as a Catechist, an Assistant, a Substitute, or a Small Group Leader for our Faith Formation children.
Any adult can be a catechist, assistant catechist, or substitute. High school youth can be helpers in various capacities. He or she must be actively living the Catholic Faith, eager to learn more about it, and willing to share it!
If you would like to discern a role in Catechesis, Co-Catechesis, or Assistant, please contact: Frances Stadler at (407) 365-3231 x 105 or fstadler@oviedocatholic.org
