New book offers nine community-wide
faith formation days!
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 17, 2006 — The editors of Celebrating The
Lectionary — a whole-life, whole-community faith formation series —
have just published a spinoff book entitled FaithDays! A FaithDay
is a community-wide event in which participants of all ages gather to build
community, pray, and share in a variety of small-group activities geared
toward a range of interests and abilities. “The goal of the FaithDays is
to provide the community with exciting and dynamic faith formation experiences
that help them prepare for full, conscious, and active participation in
the sacredness of life” (from the Introduction). In other words, connecting
liturgy to life has never been so easy!
FaithDays! offers nine doctrinally solid and completely engaging
faith formation events focused on the seasons and holy days of the liturgical
year: Faith and Tradition (September); Celebration of Mary (October); Communion
of Saints (November); Advent (December); Reign of God (January); God’s
Love (February); Reconciliation (March); Church (April); Pentecost (May).
The approach captures the essence of Bishop Donald Trautman’s keynote address
at the 2005 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress: “Learn the liturgy.
Love the liturgy. Live the liturgy. That is the church’s way to catechize
contemporary Christians.”
Ready-to-use checklists and session plans will save ministry leaders
loads of time otherwise spent on “inventing the day.” The sessions are
packed with engaging activities that require a minimum of planning and
preparation. Every faith community looking to deepen the spirituality of
its members and strengthen their relationships with God and each other
needs these FaithDays!
