Family Catechesis
at
​ Our Lady of the Angels

"The family is the first essential cell of human society"
​ Pope Francis


 
The Catholic Church recognizes that the parents are the first and primary educators of the faith for their families.
​
​
Family Catechesis is a faith formation model that supports parents and children in their spiritual growth. Our job is to provide you with the tools and support to raise your children in the faith. This model provides you with an opportunity to meet other parents, to learn and grow through activities with your children, while they too create friends and community.
