Queen of Peace Catholic Community

Faith Formation Philosophy

The Queen of Peace Faith Formation Program affirms:

·        The basic philosophy of Christian education as enunciated by Vatican II.

·        Basic philosophy illustrated by the National Catholic Council of Bishops and the Catholic Bishops of Florida.

 

We are committed to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.  It is through the Catholic Faith that:

·        The Message is proclaimed

·        Community is fostered

·        Service is offered

·        Worship is celebrated

 

The faith community as a whole has the responsibility for catechists of all its members; children and adults of all ages.

 

Catechesis is a life long process of:

·        Conversion

·        Formation

·        Spiritual Growth

 

Parents are recognized as the first and foremost catechists of their children.  Catechetical programs:

·        Are intended to support parents in nurturing their children’s faith by the witness of a worshipping, believing, serving community.

·        By helping parents in their catechetical role.

·        Familiarizing parents with the stages of their children’s growth and the relevance these stages have for catechesis.

 

The intrinsic value and uniqueness of every person is to be recognized and respected in catechetical programs.

 

The Queen of Peace Faith Formation Team strives to foster an atmosphere of:

·        Respect

·        Service

·        Love

·        Ensures that justice, mercy, and peace are an integral part of the program.
