The OLMC Children’s Faith Formation (CFF) program aims to help children preschool through 6th grade - not attending the OLMC School - develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, while fostering a love for the Bible, the Church, and all of God’s creation. We accomplish this through evangelization and catechesis based on the four pillars of the Catechism: Creed (Scripture and Tradition), Liturgy and Sacraments, Catholic morality, and prayer.
For any questions, please contact the Faith Formation office at (317) 846-3878 or email olmcCFF@olmc1.org.
For our preschool/kindergarten programs, we use Seeds and Promise weeklies by Pflaum Publishers. Each lesson falls into three parts: life stories that connect with children's own experiences; listening to the Gospel; and building Christian Community, which encourages using the Gospel hands-on. Along with these, we teach and encourage parents to help the children learn:
3 year olds- Sign of the cross |
4 year olds- Angel of God prayer |
Kindergarten- Our Father |
