The Faith Formation of your children will continue to be based on the model of the domestic church. This will be done at home using Discover! Finding Faith in Life (Grades 1, 3-5) and Go, Seek, Find Sacramental Preparation (Grade 2). You are your child's greatest teacher and you model a life full of love, forgiveness, and prayer--which is your domestic church!
The program will inspire and engage your children with a self-paced, child-focused, at-home program. Our successful inaugural year of this program proved that Discover! Finding Faith in Life will benefit both your child/children’s faith, and that of your entire family!
The curriculum offers:
- a scripture based approach
- interactive eLearning lessons at age-appropriate levels (15-20 minutes)
- Each lesson contains:
- opening prayer
- scripture story
- age-appropriate eLearning activities
- closing prayer
- Each lesson contains:
- self-directed learning in an engaging way
- access from any device
- options for family involvement
