Inside CKS

Next Friday, the staff of CKS and MSJ will be joining together for our annual Faith Formation Day. Many of you may ask what is “Faith Formation.” While intrinsically, we know it has to do with understanding and being a more complete Catholic, what does it mean?

In looking further into what Faith Formation is, I came across the idea that it is comprised of six fundamental tasks…

• Learn the Faith

• Celebrate the Faith

• Choose the Faith

• Pray the Faith

• Share the Faith

• Live the Faith

All of these speak to why Faith Formation is important, but the one that resonated with me is celebrating faith. There are many ways to celebrate our faith; first and foremost is at Mass where we pray, hear God’s Word, and receive the Eucharist (or blessing). At CKS, celebrating Mass at Christ the King Church is the culmination of our week. It is a time to gather together and listen to the Word of God and learn his lessons. It is a time to sing and pray. It is a time to reflect.

I know that there are many faiths within our school walls, but going to Mass unites us as a community and helps us to be disciples of Christ.

Ask your children what going to Mass means to them…you may get a response that surprises you.
