Whole Community Catechesis

"Welcome to St. John Neumann Religious Formation. We at St. John Neumann use a Whole Community Catechesis approach to religious formation.

The most exciting thing about Whole Community Catechesis is that it is for everyone, for all ages. For children the exciting thing is that they will be learning about and growing in faith together with the whole parish community. Each child will have very special sponsors, their own parent(s)."

- Donna Franke, Religious Formation Director

Whole Community Catechesis is a model of religious formation that gathers the community, a group of all ages, together to learn, share, and grow. For parishioners, who desire a further understanding of this approach to religious formation, information is available in the Religious Formation office.

Sacrament Preparation for the First Eucharist, First Reconciliation and Confirmation is separate from the general Faith Formation process of Whole Community Catechesis (Faith UNwrapped). Please refer to the Sacrament Information page on this website or contact the St. John Neumann Religious Formation Office. See contact information above.
