How many nights a week do our families share a meal? sports, work, clubs, social activity… then, Faith Formation for our children. For some families taking up three separate nights a week. Our families are being pulled in many different directions.
At Holy Angels we have listened to you, our parents. As mothers and fathers ourselves, we get it. We are right there with you. So rather than contribute to the problem, we have created a new Religious Education Program at Holy Angels, called Family First PSR (Parish School of Religion).
The primary goal of this program is to bring the family unit together. How are we doing that? By offering exactly what you asked for. In our parent and catechist meetings over the summer, mothers and fathers asked for field trips (Outings); opportunities of service for the whole family; and events for the whole family hosted here at our parish. These will be the core pillars of our program.
It is our aim to create engaging experiences for our families, encounters with Christ that speak to our hearts and inspire us; moments to laugh and spend more time with our kids, our spouses, our friends.
