Catch Fire… Life-Long Formation

In October 2004, the Austin Catholic Community embraced a life-long faith formation program called CATCH FIRE. Each month from October through May, all members of the tri-parish faith community have opportunities to gather for a meal, prayer, and catechetical sessions. After the meal, all ages are introduced to the evening's topic, participate in a community building activity and pray together, after which all ages study the topic with age specific materials and lessons. All households that attend are given Home Packs so they can extend the learning and prayer to the home by providing handouts, prayers, flyers, etc. for all ages.

Catch Fire... is for everyone, all families - Catholic and Public School students, singles, college students, retired people, empty nesters, RCIA candidates, out-of-town visitors, EVERYONE!
