"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.     (John 15:15)

Living Faith: whole community catechesis is a contemporary approach to faith formation that models Jesus’ own method of forming His disciples to live and share their faith. Just as Jesus adapted his message, Living Faith will strive to meet parishioners where they are and respect life’s demands on them, offering a spiritually enriching and theologically sound learning opportunity as well as facilitating their ability to make and keep faith central to the life of their family.

As a community we can be greater than the sum of our parts. As a community reflects on its relationship in Christ, every member is nurtured in faith, newcomers and long-timers alike. Each person is valued in a manner that says, “not only do we care for you, but we care for you so deeply that we want you to grow in your love for Christ for the rest of your life.”

 This profound kind of faith formation cannot be contained in a classroom. Being formed in faith goes beyond ‘information’ because it is rooted in Christian living that brings us out of ourselves, always pointing us toward others near and far. This is Living Faith.

The aim of catechetical activity consists in precisely this: to encourage a living, explicit, and fruitful profession of faith.
