FAITH FORMATION
The Faith Formation at Saint James will reach out to all members of our parish family to encourage them in their pilgrim journey; to educate them in their faith life as followers of Jesus; to increase their participation in the liturgical life of the faith community; to challenge and engage them in their practice of the life of faith according to the values of the Gospel; to help them build a life of prayer; to increase their awareness of their mission and responsibility to the faith community and to the larger community.

FAITH FORMATION CLASSES FOR CHILDREN &
ADULTS BEGIN WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 2ND.
Classes are on Wednesdays 6:15PM
Location: Parish Hall
Religious Education is a ministry of the Catholic Church. We assist families in Catholic faith formation and in sacramental preparation (Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation). We offer a continuous program for students in First grade through Confirmation. The curriculum is based on Scripture, Roman Catholic doctrine, prayer, traditions, and principles in an age appropriate setting and is approved by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. The effectiveness of our program assumes respect and cooperation between the students, parents and our staff.
The program classes are held on Wednesday from September through May. All staff and volunteers are screened according to the guidelines of the Archdiocese of Miami Safe Environment Program.
