Family-centered Intergenerational Religious Education (FIRE)
FIRE is based on the belief that we learn from each other and that we are all searching and hungering for God. FIRE teaches within small intergenerational communities of four to six households, in which people of all ages come together to learn about God. Each of the five years of the program covers a different theme: Revelation, Sacrament, Old Testament, Creed, and Morality. Families meet in homes or at the parish (space permitting) sixteen times a year at a time agreed upon by the group. Families share the responsibility for facilitating the lesson and hospitality. Orientation, materials and support are provided by the Lifelong Faith Formation staff. You may form your own group or request to join with other families.
