Lifelong, intergenerational faith formation
for the whole parish community

·        Generations of Faith is how all of us–adults, children, seniors, adolescents–learn together and engage in the life of the parish.

Generations of Faith provides the catechetical foundation on which every other religious education experience in the parish is built.

Generations of Faith is designed to help us learn and grow in our understanding of what it means to be a Catholic Christian in our homes, in the church, in the Defiance community and in the world.

Who comes to Generations of Faith?
It’s for EVERYONE. 
All are welcome!  This includes singles, couples, families, teens, seniors – ALL St. John and St. Mary Parishioners & guest--EVERYONE. 

When does Generations of Faith happen?
Once a month October through May.  See the schedule below.
● Each month the session is offered twice: once on Sunday from 12:45–2:45 
  p.m. and once on Wednesday from 6:30–8:30 p.m. 
● Use the Generations of Faith Home Kit and the Call to Faith eConnect website to
   make growing in faith a part of everyday life.
●  Celebrate the event that has been the focus throughout the month.
