The Sheepfold: A sheepfold is a walled enclosure created to shelter and protect a flock of sheep against predators and thieves, particularly at night. This is what our Youth and Family Religious Formation Groups will also do. We will create spaces for our youth and their families where they can come to find the rest, shelter, and the nourishment they need to live in this world as disciples of Christ without being overcome by discouragement or indifference. The prayer is that each year we will add to Our Sheepfold important groups of people that also need to be ministered to such as Married Couples, Young Adult Professionals, Elderly, Parents of Special Need Children, etc. |
To register for Fatima's Little Flock please complete steps 1 and 2 for EACH elementary school aged child:About Our Little Flock Program!For our Little Flock we utilize the Plaum Gospel Weeklies program. The content of the program flows from each Sunday’s Gospel, allowing the youth to learn their faith within the rhythms and seasons of the liturgical year.
Every lesson goes home to involve parents (who hear the same Gospel on Sunday) making it easier for them to discuss topics with their children. Youth gather for prayer, song, and an activity that taps into something they already know or have experienced and introduces the Sunday Gospel theme. |

To register for Fatima's LaMS please complete steps 1 and 2 for EACH middle school aged child:About Our LaMS Program!For our LaMS we utilize YDisciple. YDisciple centers around the power of SMALL GROUPS! Why small groups? In a small group a teen can feel known, loved, and cared for. Teens need to belong in order to believe. A level of confidentiality can be achieved which gives teens the freedom to open up about their struggles and doubts. In a small group, there is the greater chance to catch things teens don’t understand and discuss.
