Jesus: Man or Myth?? April 21 and 24
Last GOF of the YEAR.

Fr. Nick March will present on a question that theologians and common men and women have been discussing for centuries. Was Jesus a real person, or is he a religious myth? Come hear Fr. Nick's answer and the reasons behind those answers. On Sunday ONLY, Natalie Busta, Assumption parishioner, will present to the 6-9th grade students about the connection between Conservation and Faith. This last festival of the school year is Sunday, April 21 from Noon-2:15 PM and Wednesday April 24 from 5:45-8:00 PM.

Generations of Faith (Faith Formation for Life)

Generations of Faith Festivals (GOF) is the fun and creative primary faith formation program for  all ages, birth to death. This program is specifically designed, and works best, when multiple generations (whole families) come together to learn and grow in their faith. 

¨ All members of your family will receive faith formation at their level. 

¨ 12 Festivals annually on a variety of topics

¨ Guest speakers and presenters

¨ Each Festival is offered twice (Sunday afternoon 12:00-2:15 and Wednesday evening 5:45-8:00) and lasts for 2 hrs 15 min.

¨ 90 minute Break-out session for grade level/ adult appropriate learning environments in dedicated classrooms with grade level textbooks.

¨  Students learn Archdiocesan required prayers and our Catholic beliefs and traditions in a fun and exciting environment.

¨ Whole family prayer services and sharing are a part of each festival.

¨ Each festival begins with a small meal and social time for you to get to know your fellow parishioners.

¨ One of our goals is to aid parents in fulfilling their role as the first educator of their children in the faith.
