From Cradle to Community: Building Lifelong Faith
January 15, 2026 9:00 AM - 01:00 PM
Location: East & West Satellite Locations
From Cradle to Community: Building Lifelong Faith is an invitation to step back and see the whole faith formation picture with a panel discussion led by Paulette Chapman. Long before a child enters a classroom, faith is already being shaped—in the arms of parents, at the family table, and within the parish community. This session explores how early childhood formation is not a niche ministry, but the foundation that strengthens adult faith, family engagement, and every stage of catechesis that follows. Together, we’ll discover practical ways to support parents as the first catechists and build parish cultures where faith takes root early and grows across a lifetime. As we all work together to form lasting discipleship, this conversation is for you.
