Journey of Faith for Children provides a solid catechetical foundation engaging children in faith topics in a way that will start them on a lifelong journey of knowing and loving Jesus. Year 2 is "Catechumenate" and introduces to them the Rites they will celebrate through this special year alongside topics such as the Sacraments, Church history, the dignity of life, social justice and moral living.
This program is offered for those children aged 7years and older and not yet Baptized (or Baptized in another Christian denomination). It is the second year of two years of preparation for being fully received into the Cathollic Church at the Easter Vigil celebration where they will receive all three sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion.
