4 What is GIFT? A FAMILY faith formation program that supports Parents as the Primary Catechists of the Catholic Faith: The family is the community in which, from childhood, one can learn moral values, begin to honor God, and make good use of freedom. (2207 CCC) The Christian home is the place where children receive the first proclamation of the faith. For this reason the family home is rightly called the domestic church, a community of grace and prayer, a school of human virtues and of Christian charity. (1666 CCC) CCC = Catechism of the Catholic Church 4
5 What is GIFT? A Support System for parents: - Classrooms for grades Pre-K (ages 3-4) through HS - Presentation room for parents Goals: supplement home teaching; provide opportunity for networking & friendships; build community 5

7 The Joy of Love experienced by families is also the joy of the Church. The family is thus the place where parents become their children s first teachers in the faith. They learn this trade, passing it down from one person to another. Parents have a serious responsibility for this work of education, as the Biblical sages often remind us Pope Francis, AMORIS LÆTITIA (The Joy of Love) Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation 7

13 Research shows: for families to grow in faith, the following 6 key categories are essential: 1. Talk about faith by sharing insights, doubts, questions, and wonderments 2. Pray together in ways that are comfortable and comforting 3. Reach out in service and support of others 4. Ritualize important family moments and honor milestone experiences 5. Share Bible stories in ways that connect to the family story 6. Learn about one s faith in ways that are interesting and relevant 13
