Important Notice Regarding Fall 2020
Faith FormationFAITH FORMATION UPDATE
(ENG) July 10th, 2020
The Diocese of Charlotte Office of Faith Formation is looking to assist and provide support to parishes as plans to return to Faith Formation this fall are being considered. The Diocese has created a “Return to Faith Formation Task Force” which has the purpose of providing helpful suggestions and resources for parishes to utilize as they assess options that will serve as a framework to construct individualized plans in response to COVID-19.
The goal of the Task Force is to recommend three Plans for Return to Faith Formation in Fall 2020. These support measures must be evaluated at the local parish level to determine what works best for specific localities. The Task Force will recommend Best Practices and Resources that will allow us to move forward this fall, keeping in mind the health and safety of all persons in Faith Formation: Parish Leaders, Catechists, families, children, youth and adults. The Task Force hopes to have their three-phase Plan, Safety Protocols and Action Steps available by early August.
Once SFA receives this information, we will determine the course of action most suited to our parish family. Information about registration etc., will be made available here on the website once plans have been finalized.
ACTUALIZACIÓN DE FORMACIÓN DE FE
(ESP) 10 de julio de 2020
La Oficina de Formación de Fe de la Diócesis de Charlotte está buscando ayudar y brindar apoyo a las parroquias a medida que se están considerando los planes para regresar a la Formación de Fe este otoño. La Diócesis ha creado una "Fuerza de Tarea de Formación para el Retorno a la Fe" que tiene el propósito de proporcionar sugerencias útiles y recursos para que las parroquias utilicen mientras evalúan las opciones que servirán como marco para construir planes individualizados en respuesta a COVID-19.
El objetivo de la Fuerza de Tarea es recomendar tres Planes para la Formación de Regreso a la Fe en el otoño de 2020. Estas medidas de apoyo deben evaluarse a nivel parroquial local para determinar qué funciona mejor para localidades específicas. El Grupo de trabajo recomendará las mejores prácticas y recursos que nos permitirán avanzar este otoño, teniendo en cuenta la salud y la seguridad de todas las personas en la formación de fe: líderes parroquiales, catequistas, familias, niños, jóvenes y adultos. El Grupo de trabajo espera tener su Plan trifásico, Protocolos de seguridad y Pasos de acción disponibles a principios de agosto.
Una vez que SFA reciba esta información, determinaremos el curso de acción más adecuado para nuestra familia parroquial. La información sobre el registro, etc., estará disponible aquí en el sitio web una vez que se hayan finalizado los planes.

New Parishioners are Most Welcome!
A parish family is more than just a place to come for Mass and Confession. It is a place to gather together as brothers and sisters in Christ, each created in the image and likeness of God, into one family of faith, which is the Church. It is an opportunity to find friendship, prayer, love, support, encouragement and challenges so that we can each grow in our relationship with Christ, and thus by our presence in the world, bear witness to the transformative power of the Gospel.
We are a relatively small parish family, but there are a number of opportunities, both social and spiritual, in which to become involved here at SFA. You are invited, encouraged (and expected!) to be an active part of our parish family! WELCOME! We look forward to getting to know you and working with you to further God's Kingdom on earth.
Registration Forms are available under the Resources tab located above.
