Family Catechism is simple – families gathering together to share their Faith through ongoing community, prayer, and formation. Essentially, the purpose of this initiative is to see families work together in their common task of faith formation.

Family Catechism Pods
A Catechism Pod is a group of 2 or more families who are able to connect with each other on a regular basis to pray, learn about their faith, and encourage each other. There is no cost or fee to participating in a Pod. Family Foundations Institute is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to helping families thrive. We seek to provide meaningful encouragement, connections and resources to help each family live their mission as the domestic church.
Meet once or twice a month.
Gather together (e.g. in person/virtually), share a meal.
Pray the rosary, study resources.

Limited Spots Available
Virtual Family Catechism Classes
Virtual Catechism classes are available in select cities where the coordinators have the resources available to provide a virtual learning environment. Because of the technical resources required to deliver online classes, there is a $10/family fee for virtual catechism classes.
In-Person Catechism Classes
Because of the differing government orders between Ontario and Alberta, some cities may be offering in-person catechism classes. In-person catechism classes are expected to be in full compliance with local regulations in response to COVID-19; including proper social-distancing and sanitization protocol. Because of the facilities and supplies required to deliver in-person classes, there is a fee for in-person catechism classes.
