Spark for Families

Spark is a blended learning approach for families who have missed formal religious formation since the first grade.  In Spark, you will follow an online guide to complete weekly home study lessons.  Spark families also attend our twelve Faith on Fire Family Gatherings during the year.  Both child and parent are required to attend.

Watch our introduction videos to get started!
