Core Topics are an enrichment of faith for the parents. Since parents are the first and foremost teachers of faith, we strive to enhance your learning opportunities by offering Core Topics. We hope these help you better educate your children. All parents of children in Faith Formation programs must attend three (3) CORE topic meetings. The requirements are met by family, not by child, so no matter how many children you have in our programs, you are still only required to attend three (3) Faith Formation events and activities.
Faith Opportunities that count for CORE topic requirements
The Sacramental preparation meetings (First Communion, Reconciliation, Confirmation)
Bible studies or speakers presented by the church
Protecting God's Children workshops - This counts as 2 Core Topic meetings.
Other diocesan retreats and faith formation opportunities at other parishes can be approved in advance by Betsy.
