At St. Philip Parish, we understand that the home is the place where children receive the first proclamation of the faith, (CCC #1666). So we, in conjunction with the family, provide a comprehensive formational program that includes the catechetical tasks of sharing the message, community-building, worship experiences and service opportunities.
The Catechists here at St. Philip strive to be a constant example of the love of Christ to our community and to our students. They endeavor to form themselves and our youth in Catholic beliefs, traditions, and values, in order to model and to foster a mature faith that is living, conscious, and active.
The education program that we are using is "Faith First" Legacy Edition from RCL. This series will introduce the children to the richness of the Roman Catholic tradition and help them grow in their commitment to Jesus Christ. Your family also has unlimited access to, www.faithfirst.com, which provides an entire section devoted to parents and their children. This interactive web site has a variety of opportunities to expand learning for people of all ages, and includes engaging activities, prayers and informational articles. We encourage you to check it out.
