What is Spark for Families
Spark is a blended learning approach for families who have missed formal religious formation since the first grade. In Spark, you will follow an online guide to complete weekly home study lessons. Spark families also attend our Faith on Fire Family Gatherings during the year. Both child and parent are required to attend.
Learn more about Spark in the tabs below, mark the gathering dates in your calendar below and register.
