April 30, 2012More About Abraham (for older saints)
March 11, 2012Abraham lived an amazing, adventure-filled life, but the attribute we still admire today is his remarkable example of faith! Abraham trusted God so completely that he was able to clearly hear what God wanted and he was willing to do it. (CCC 145-146, 2570) The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that every nation of [...]
The Basics: Meet the W.O.G.
October 5, 2011It’s funny how we get so used to things being around that it doesn’t even occur to us that it’s new to someone else. That exact thing happened on Saturday when, after our Family Formation monthly meeting was over, someone asked who that giant, red, fuzzy guy was. Meet the W.O.G.! He’s our Family [...]
Fulfill your ministry!
January 15, 2011I charge you to preach the word, to stay with this task whether convenient or inconvenient – correcting, reproving, appealing – constantly teaching and never losing patience. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but, following their own desires, will surround themselves with teachers who tickle their ears. They will [...]

W.O.G. Basics
October 7, 2010If you’re new to Family Formation at the Church of Saint Paul, you may have wondered about that furry, red greeter when you came to your first Classroom Lesson time. Meet the W.O.G. He is our mascot who shows up each month to encourage kids to keep up with daily reading of the Word of God. [...]
Our 2010 Epiphany Challenge
January 4, 2010Many thanks to Father Jon’s prayerful discernment regarding our parish’s Epiphany Challenge. Adults are encouraged to prayerfully read through the book of Matthew, the Psalms, or to read Secrets of the Interior Life by Archbishop Luis Martinez. (Or read all three – c’mon people, you have an entire year!) I’m not sure how appropriate the [...]
The Prophet Jeremiah
December 14, 2009In this piece by Rembrandt, the prophet Jeremiah is shown lamenting the destruction of the city of Jerusalem. Because of their hardened, disobedient hearts, God allowed the great army of Nebuchadnezzar to conquer Jerusalem. Thousands were killed or taken captive and the city was burned. On the left side you can see Zedekiah, the last [...]
On Encouragement
December 8, 2009One of the nice surprises I had this weekend came while hearing people recite the Books of the Bible. Most of those who were ready came in teams – a father/daughter team, three sisters, a mom and her son, four siblings, and more. All were working on memorizing the challenge together in their little groups [...]
Using Your Bible
November 12, 2009In this year where Family Formation focuses especially on reading Scripture, I’d like to encourage all our catechists and parents to own a personal copy of the Bible, and to read directly from it at home, as they teach Family Formation lessons, and during the Liturgy of the Word when they go to Mass. For [...]
