Lost Sheep - Religious Formation of Youth
Contact: Mary Lou Baker, 513-777-4322 Ext. 120, mbaker@saint-max.org
The Parable of the Lost Sheep may call to mind your experience of formation here at St. Max. Do you feel hesitant about beginning the formation journey with your family? Are you currently participating in one of our formation programs and have fallen behind on assignments? Have your children missed years of catechesis, but you would like to resume? Parents often feel uncomfortable to reach out to us in these circumstances because they feel embarrassed or guilty. Please don’t let these emotions stir. Take a deep breath and reach out to us if you feel lost in any way!
There is never going to be a formation program that will perfectly fit the needs of our ‘100’ and, even if it did, there are seasons in life when some families will fall behind on formation studies due to many different factors. Life may even present circumstances or hardships that necessitate an extended break. That’s ok! Please know that you can return to the sheepfold if you enrolled and have fallen behind on current assignments or if you haven’t been with us in some years. We are here to support you, to help you to explore formation choices or a catch-up plan that work best for you!
