 Generations
of Faith is an innovative approach
to parish faith formation that involves all generations in learning
and growing together through their experience and participation
in church life. Funded through a grant from the Lilly Endowment,
the Generations of Faith Project helps parishes develop
lifelong, intergenerational, Church-based faith formation that is
focused on the educative power of the church community: the feasts
and seasons of the Church Year, sacraments and liturgy, prayer and
spirituality, justice and service, proclamation of the Word, and
community life. The Generations of Faith approach
promotes participation of all ages and generations in the shared
experiences of church life (events) as a focus for learning. the
Generations approach utilizes a catechetical process of preparing
all ages and all generations for meaningful participation in church
events through a variety of learning programs, engaging them in
church events, and guiding them in reflecting and applying the significance
and meaning of the events for their lives as Catholics. The Generations
approach weaves home and parish in a comprehensive model of faith
formation for all ages and generations.
The
Generations
of Faith Project
is designed to equip parishes to:
Provide comprehensive, lifelong faith formation for all ages - children,
adolescents, young adults - and all families by utilizing the events
of Church life: Church Year feasts and seasons, liturgical and sacramental
celebrations, prayer experiences and spiritual traditions, justice
and service ministries, and community events.
Utilize a catechetical process of preparing all ages and
all generations for meaningful participation in church events through
a variety of learning programs (age-specific, family, and intergenerational),
engaging them in church events, and guiding them in reflecting
and applying the significance and meaning of the events for
their lives.
