Mission Statement

All authority in heaven and earth is given to me.  Go, therefore, make disciples of all
nations; baptize them in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teach them to
observe all the commands I give you.  And know that I am with you always, Yes, to the
end of time
                                                                   
MT 28:18-20

With these words, Jesus commissioned his followers to make disciples, baptize, and teach all
nations.  Today, the Church, faithful to his command, brings the "Good News of Salvation"
by proclaiming the Gospel, by celebrating the Sacred Mysteries in Liturgy and Worship, and
by offering service to those in need.

The Faith Formation Ministry at St. James Catholic Church takes up Jesus' mission.  We aim
"to share the Light of Faith" through instruction, celebration of prayer and liturgy, and
commitment to others' needs through service and works of mercy.  


Purpose

The purpose of our programs is to provide the best program of religious instruction that
assists parents in their responsibility of bringing up their children in the Catholic faith.

Our programs of instruction,
Discovering God's World, Faith First, the EDGE Middle School
Program,
and LifeTeen are rooted in Scripture, prayer, and Catholic doctrine.  We use The
Cathecism of the Catholic Church, 1994, Sharing the Light of Faith, The National
Catechetical Directory of the United States,
and the Guidelines of the Archdiocese of
Atlanta.  
The curriculum materials are approved by the United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops and the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

Catechists generously volunteer their time and talents.  They are the backbone of the
catechetical ministry.  We ask for your prayers and support of these men and women in this
important ministry of sharing the faith with our children and youth.
