	<description>Family Formation is a truly innovative K-6th grade Catholic religious education program used by parishes and families across the US and Canada.  Based on the principle that &#34;Parents are the primary educators in the Faith&#34;  [General Directory for Catechesis (GDC) 255, Family Formation] revolves around weekly family gatherings and home lessons.  This shared learning experience spills over into the family&#039;s everyday life.</description>
