Elementary Curriculum

Nativity Faith Formation believes in Parent Partnership…..Parents and Parish working together!

In fact the definition of Faith Formation is a lifelong, continuing process which takes place in a community of believers.  For the young child this first community is his/her family. The child absorbs the culture and the faith of the family; he/she shares in his/her family’s world vision and values. The role of the parent then, in socializing the child and communicating the faith is fundamental. The church calls the parents role as irreplaceable!
