St. Agnes Faith Formation
523 Front Street, Greenport NY 11944 -  Ellen Harbes, Coordinator – 631-477-1422

Welcome back to St. Agnes  Faith Formation!

What a year it has been!  Many of us are uncertain, confused and just plain exhausted.  The pandemic has forced us out of our comfort zones and we are unable to continue to offer our program in the usual way - so let’s be clear about what is most important.

God does not social distance.   Now more than ever we need to tune in to the workings of the Holy Spirit in our lives.  Prayer, reflection and meditation are so important.   The gift of technology can help us stay connected and growing together in our faith, even as we keep each other healthy.  
 

This year we will use limited in –parish small group gatherings, online video sessions, and at home assignments to help you on your journey of faith.  It is our hope that throughout this year you will grow in relationship with our Lord and others!

Our Level 1 Program curriculum revolves around the Pflaum Gospel Weeklie pamphlets.
Our Level 2 Program curriculum is the Sacramental Preparation Program from Pflaum Publishing.
Our Level 3 -6  Program curriculum is a brand new adventure in faith put out by Loyola Press.  Wanderlight:™ A Pilgrim’s Adventure is a groundbreaking online game for Catholic kids of all ages as well as those interested in learning about the Catholic faith. 
Our Level 7and 8 Program Curriculum is entitled “Decision Point”.  
Our Level 9 Program Curriculum is entitled “Chosen”.  
We hope to offer the Sacrament of Confirmation in late March or early April 2021.

Levels 1-6 will also find a booklet entitled “Think First and Stay Safe”.  This booklet is put our through the diocese Office of Protection for children.  Please read it through and discuss it with your child.

Adult Faith Formation

As Faith Formation is a lifelong journey we invite you to travel with us!  Our adult learners come together for a series of teachings during Advent and Lent and as our schedule permits throughout the year. 

We hope to offer more Adult FF opportunities such as guest speakers and missions as we continue to expand our program.  Please join us!
