6 Faith Formation for Children with Special Needs We would like to help provide Faith Formation for all of our parish children in the way that best suits the child s formational needs. We can offer help to children with special learning, behavioral, emotional or physical needs in a number of ways, depending on the level or type of need. One way is by pairing the child up with a Special Friend. A Special Friend is a volunteer in the classroom matched to the child to offer aid, encourage peer support, and provide individualized instruction when needed, helping create an atmosphere of acceptance and friendship where the special needs child can feel welcome within the regular classroom. If a child would benefit more from an alternative Faith Formation program (perhaps small group or individual) rather than our mainstreamed classroom format, we can work with the parent/s in providing the appropriate formation. If your child has a special learning, behavioral, emotional or physical need, and you would like to arrange some type or level of help for your child s formation, please mark a star (*) on the registration form next to the child s name (p. 16), or contact Christine Shafer. You will be contacted via for more detailed information regarding your child and his/her needs in late September to discuss your child s need, and the type or level of assistance. Also, if you would like to help with this ministry, please contact Christine Shafer or mark that on the Time & Talent section of the registration form (p. 17). Program Some families elect to provide religious formation for their children through home-study rather than our formal parish Faith Formation classes. Our parish provides resources, textbooks and support to those parents choosing this method. The parent is the catechist for his/her family only, and is provided with a manual and student textbooks. The program allows the family to study one theme at the same, but at age appropriate levels. This program will take approximately minutes per week and includes a variety of topics. Parents are informed at the beginning of the year of various projects and activities happening in the CFF grade levels, and are invited to contact the CFF office to get their children involved in those events. Parents selecting In-Home Faith Formation must be certified as a Catechist with the Diocese of Grand Rapids. Certification material will be provided with the In-Home materials. Parent Catechists in the In- Home Program option are only certified for the catechesis of their own children. There is no fee for the parent guide which is now available online; however if you request the parent guide to be printed for you, there is a $5 fee. There is $10 book fee per student textbook, which the student uses therefore the books are not returned. (ex: A family with 3 students will pay $30 if using the online parent guide online or $45 if the parish is printing the guides per grade for you.) We ask that those parents who provide In-Home Faith Formation please mark that box on p. 16 of the registration form so that our parish has accurate Formation records and can contact families to provide them with Diocesan approved materials. A parent orientation can be scheduled in the fall by contacting Christine Shafer. Please Note: Because of the communal nature of the Sacraments of Eucharist, Reconciliation and Confirmation, students must be prepared through weekly parish Faith Formation classes, and not through the In-Home program. This program is not available for Early Childhood or High School. For more information regarding In-Home Faith Formation, contact Christine Shafer. In-Home Faith Formation 6

7 Social Media Holy Family s Internet Use Policy for its employees establishes strict guidelines as to proper conduct on the Internet and the appropriate content of communications, blogs, and websites. Behavior must adhere to the Diocesan Standards of Ministerial Behavior in Dealing with Children and Young People at all s. As church workers who care deeply about our young people, we urge parents to regularly monitor their children s internet, electronic devices and social networking activity. The Virtus, Michigan CSI, and MI Attorney General s websites have great information on the parental role in internet safety. We intend to communicate regularly with students via Social Media. The Diocese of Grand Rapids does not allow ministry participant minors to interact with employees of the parish without written consent from the parent or guardian. Your permission is requested on the registration form. We encourage you to Like our pages as well. Our CFF pages are: Catholic Faith Formation, Holy Family Caledonia - intended audience: parents of all grades Holy Family Youth Ministry - intended audience MS and HS students, parents and volunteers You can follow us on: Instagram: HolyFamily_Whitney Facebook Page: Holy Family Youth Ministry and/or Catholic Faith Formation, Holy Family Caledonia Remind Texting Service*: MS to HS *This will be used to communicate weather cancellations, reminders, etc. We request that all parents use this free service for quick and easy communication. Adult Faith Formation Growing in our faith is a lifelong process that doesn t stop with our traditional schooling. The Catholic faith is deep in richness and truths which we come to know as we grow in age, wisdom and grace. At Holy Family, there are any number of ways to participate as an adult in your ongoing faith formation. There are small groups in the Fall and Winter/Lenten months which are described in the parish bulletin and newsletter for sign-up purposes. We regularly offer the DVD course CATHOLICISM: Journey of a Life by Fr. Robert Barron as a foundational course for all adult Catholics in the parish, knowing that we all need updating from our youth faith formation. We also offer a variety of speakers, religious exhibits, and our parish mission. Further, we provide Lighthouse Media CD s for sale ($3) in our Narthex on a variety of engaging topics for formation in your car or at home; these are also available as podcasts on their website. We are also blessed with an extensive Parish Library where parishioners can form themselves by checking out books and media. We also encourage adults to listen to Catholic radio at AM1140 as this is a great resource for learning more in the faith. Finally, there are a number of quality Catholic online mini-courses available for adults advertised in our parish newsletter. If you would like to know more about our Adult Faith Formation, please contact the Lori Pieri Adult Faith Formation Coordinator in the Parish office at

9 Elementary In our Elementary classes, students explore a variety of Catholic Christian teachings and practices, including sacraments, morality, prayer, social justice. Using our spiral curriculum, our children are formed in the richness of our faith year after year, going deeper in their journey to know, love and serve the Lord, Christian service, the Trinity, the Church, and Scripture. Catechists present lessons involving a diverse array of activities and learning/teaching methods to best help children grow in their faith.
