Faith Formation

St. John Faith Formation

The Faith Formation Commission assists, promotes and supports parishioners in understanding that the entire parish communion has responsibility for participating in the evangelization and teaching mission of Jesus entrusted to the Church.

The Education Commission is responsible for seeing that the parish communion's teaching mission is addressed in ways that assist each individual to grow in faith throughout their life. Through the commisson's committees, it determines programs that promote and support total parish education and formation. The commission supports the parish professional staff in working toward that goal.

The Commission's educational responsibilities

Discern the parish's formational/educational needs at all levels.
Assist in providing an array of informational and formational opportunities for people at every stage of life.

Ensure compliance with educational directives, guidelines, norms, and policies of the parish, Archdiocese and universal Church.

The Commission's formation responsibilities

Assist commission and committee members in their understanding of Church catechetical documents and best practices, emphasizing the lifelong aspects of Catholic formation in its broadest sense.
Support the continuing education and formation of all educational ministers according to Archdiocesan directives, guidelines, norms and policies.

Our programs are led by VOLUNTEER catechists who have completed the Protecting God's Children course, have had a background check and most are certified through the Archdiocese of Detroit. For those not yet certified, they are working towards their certification.
