Catechesis at Home
Parents have always been the first communicator of the Faith to their children. The Church has always and will always assists them in this special calling. We have been very fortunate in this Diocese to have the means to provide Faith Formation in our local parishes with volunteers stepping forward to assist parents in the teaching of the Faith. At times it may not always be feasable to have in-person instuction offered at the parish. The Church then offers support to parents to continue instruction at home. The Diocese of Fargo has partnered with Our Sunday Visitor in the Alive in Christ- Faith at Home program for grades K-8. There are also resources below to continue High School formation in the home as well.

Parents can easily find home session plans, faith-based games and videos that fit their family routine. This web site also includes resources for Kindgergarden and Sacramental preparation for Reconciliation, Confirmation and 1st Eucharist. You can find all this information on the Faith At Home website.
