The Vision for A Family of Faith
The vision for A Family of Faith is strong Catholic Families in which children learn the joys of following Christ and the truths of their faith through the witness of Christian life given by their parents.
A Family of Faith Calendar 2022-2023
Structure of A Family of Faith
A Family of Faith consists of catechesis for the whole family. The program is comprised of both Parent Meetings and Community Meetings.
Parent Meetings
The parent meeting will walk through the topic and activities for the coming month. Parents will be equipped with the resources and knowledge needed to confidently explore that month's lesson and catechize their children within their home.
“Parents are the principal and first educators of their children.” (CCC 1653)
Children will meet in a catechist lead lesson during the parent meeting.
Children in non-sacrament years will be introduced to that month's focus points while children in Sacrament years will prepare to receive their Sacraments.
In your Domestic Church
Between meetings, parents teach their children the Catholic Faith in their home.
"Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God." (CCC 2226)
Community Meetings
The purpose of the Community Meetings are to encourgae accountability and foster friendships. These Community Meetings will vary on date, time, and location. They can be viewed on your program calendar and will be announced both in your lesson and in the A Family of Faith monthly newsletter.
Program Fee
$50.00 per family. This includes Sacrament preparation.
You can make your payment at the main office at Our Lady of the Rosary in Greenhills or Our Lady of the Valley in Reading.
(No family will be denied participation because of a financial hardship.)

DAYS OF SERVICE, NIGHTS OF PRAYER
Every June we have our "Days of Service Nights of Prayer" retreat. This will be an overnight retreat for the young people of the Winton Wyoming Pastoral region. We will be staying at one of the parishes overnight. Our days will be spent doing service in the greater Cincinnati area and the evening sessions will be led by the youth team with an occasional special guest!
