What is Generations of Faith? Generations of Faith (GOF) is an intergenerational faith learning session designed for all ages. The program begins with a meal and prayer followed by an opening session to introduce the topic. The group then divides into age specific learning groups. The program concludes with an all-ages closing activity and closing prayer. Each household receives a "Live it Kit" containing resources and ideas to continue the learning at home.
All ages (from 1-101!!)
are invited to come
and prepare for our
parish celebration of
Holy Thursday.
At GOF we will :
- Explore the connection between the Jewish Seder Meal and the Catholic Mass.
- Reflect on our call as Christians to serve one
