Journey with Christ (JC), formerly Generations of Faith, 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 can receive faith formation at their level. 
​
¨ Our primary goal is to aid parents in fulfilling their role as the first educator of their children in the faith. We strive to support parents, not replace them. 

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


- K-8th students utilize the Be My Disciples series from RCL Benziger. This series is dedicated to presenting information on our faith in a way that easily helps students connect what they learn to their lives. Each session includes a family page for you to use at home to reinforce what was learned in class. K-5th grade students will bring home their chapters at the end of each class, so you know what was discussed in class. 

- 9th grade students utilize You: Theology of the Body for Teens from Ascension. This is a series that focus on helping students better understand who they are, and how to respect themselves, others, and look at important topics such as dating, relationship, marriage, homosexuality, and how our bodies are temples created by God and need to be respected as such. 

​- 10th grade students utilize Alteration: Understanding the Mass. ​
