Footprints 10/15/26

Welcome to our Faith Formation Footprints Newsletter. A new post will be added each week to highlight happenings in Faith Formation. Just like the imagery of Christ carrying us when we have the need, our mission is to help carry your families on your faith formation journey. We cannot be Christ, but we can supply testimony, resources, support, joy and community as we accompany you here at St. Mary.

This week's Footprints...
Each week I will highlight the upcoming Sunday readings  and Gospel, which is what each class teaches through our Pflaum GospelWeeklies curriculum.


Sunday Gospel Background...

Each week I will give you a summary of the Gospel and key teaching points.


Resources for you...
Each week I will give you links to resources, ideas for crafts or projects, ways to engage, etc.


Extras this week...
Each week I will let you know of the extra items added to the week's teachings - a Saint's feast day, a special outing, one class's unique project. So many wonderful things are happening each week!

Classes are fully underway!
