This dynamite middle school faith formation program (grades 7-8) introduces young adolescents to Jesus Chris in a new way and inspires them to follow Him. Fostering the faith of young adolescents involves helping them to make connections between the Catholic faith and everyday life. It also means helping young people to strengthen their connection to the faith community. Catholic Connections aims to strengthen each participant’s Catholic identity and inspire them to participate more fully in the Church’s mission. They will use this handbook from 6th-8th grades. Seventh grade students will explore the Liturgy and the Sacraments. They will study the works of the people in the Church and examine how we celebrate Christ’s presence in the sacraments. Eighth grade students will study Christian morality and prayer. They will discuss how Jesus Christ gave us the New Law to fulfill and complete the Old Law. They will also explore moral decision making and honoring God and family.
