Embracing a New Vision of Faith Formation Generations Learning Together Both the General Catechetical Directory and National Directory for Catechesis have given us a vision of what faith formation should be in the Catholic church. They tell us: · The church community is the primary communicator of faith tradition and practices (GDC #77, 141, 105) · Lifelong faith formation is norm for learning (GDC #56, 66, 80) · Lifelong faith formation uses the whole life of the Church as the curriculum and content of faith formation. (GDC #77, 104, 141, 158, NDC 190 The GDC sees lifelong faith formation as an integrated process which must include several tasks: · Learning Scripture and Catholic tradition · Learning the meaning of the liturgy, sacraments and rituals of the Church · Developing a life of prayer · Developing moral values rooted in teachings and example of Jesus · Educating for involvement in justice and service to the larger human community · Empowering all, especially the laity, to take on their duty to spread the “Good News” throughout society
According to the GDC, all of these tasks are necessary and should be done in community utilizing the richness of the events of the Church life. Here at Holy Eucharist we will utilize Generations of Faith as our life-long faith formation approach.
