Father Broom teaches the parents of the Confirmation students in their every other week parent formation class.
This is the Year of Faith declared by Pope Benedict XVI. His Apostolic Letter declaring this year is “PORTA FIDEI” – The Door of Faith. We are to open the Door of Faith in this Year. The Holy Father says we open that door by studying the documents of Vatican Two and studying the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Our 1st purpose id to KNOW our faith. But the ultimate goal is to have a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and to fall in love with Him.
Father asks the parents to begin that program of study and to read Porta Fidei available here:
