Welcome Faith Formation Leaders!
We are deeply grateful for all those who minister to the children, youth and families throughout the Archdiocese of Hartford. Your dedication helps families and individuals encounter Jesus in meaningful ways. Our office is committed to walking alongside you—providing resources, encouragement, and support for your important ministry.
We believe that the family is the heart of faith formation. Parents and guardians have the greatest influence on their children’s spiritual lives, and we are passionate about helping parishes partner with them in this sacred mission. A Family-Centered Faith Formation model not only invites families to participate in parish life but also empowers them to live their faith daily, transforming their homes into true “domestic churches.” Our office seeks to equip parish leaders with the tools, formation, and inspiration needed to help parents nurture faith with confidence and joy.
Family Faith Formation Leaders will find resources designed to help families grow in relationship with Jesus and strengthen their connection to the Church community. With the recent lowering of the age of Confirmation, we are also developing a comprehensive Middle School Faith Formation Discipleship toolkit of resources to help early adolescents experience Jesus and engage more deeply in the life of their parish.
Additionally, we offer resources and guidance for those who accompany children with special needs, particularly during sacramental preparation, ensuring that every child and family experiences the inclusive and unconditional love of Christ within the Church.
