  Christian Formation is an ever-changing, lifelong journey with Christ. It is an adventure with our Lord at different times and from different levels and experiences throughout our lives. Christian formation is not confined to any definitive period of time; it truly begins when we begin our lives and remains with us until our final days here on earth. We, as Christians, are formed throughout each and every day, not only on a Sunday morning.

Lifelong Christian Formation Charter              Development through a Lifespan


Our mission in the Office of Christian Formation is to assist and support parishes, groups and leaders in Connecticut to develop and enhance their Christian formation programs for people of all ages. Our Office serves as a resource for information and networking by researching, obtaining and sharing information about events and programs of interest to the people and congregations of the Diocese. Workshops are offered throughout the year in various locations and regional teacher trainings are held each spring and fall. Topics include lesson planning, spirituality, curriculum, peace and justice, prayer, and faith at home. Training is also offered for Godly Play and Journey to Adulthood programs. Workshops can also be arranged for individual parishes on weekday evenings, Saturdays or Sundays.
