Goal of the Middle School Faith Formation Program
To recognize each child as a gift from God and to let her or him grow in the Catholic faith through an awareness of God’s presence in their lives as important members of the Holy Trinity Parish community. To achieve this goal, our faith formation classes include catechesis using
Pflaum Gospel Weeklies with small group discussions on how the Gospel is applicable to the lives of middle schoolers, sharing of personal stories and experiences, studying the saints as role models for our youth, experiences of prayer, religious practice, community outreach, and learning activities to grow in faith, knowledge, and fellowship.
