“The faithful, therefore, must learn the deepest meaning and the value of all creation, as well as its role in the harmonious praise of God. They must assist each other to live holier lives even in their daily occupations.”
– Lumen Gentium

Faith Formation
★
We strive to nurture the minds and hearts of the entire Catholic family so we can be prepared to live our lives as effective ambassadors of our faith.
At Our Lady of Peace, we do not seek to merely prepare people to receive holy Sacraments, we are compelled to engage every person with a desire to enrich their understanding of what it means to be a part of the universal Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ as the compass which guides us to Him through our regular receiving of the Holy Eucharist as a communal, Eucharistic people.
We invite each of you to deepen your faith further by considering your participation in our following programs.
For information regarding faith formation and sacraments, please contact the Religious Education Office at 970.351.6473.
Family Catechesis |
Faith Formation |
Family Catechesis is a religious education program that helps parents grow in their own faith, while they guide their children in core faith formation. It develops strong Catholic families, in which children learn the joys of following Jesus Christ and the truths of our Faith, through the witness of Christian life given by their parents.’
