LIFT: Living in Faith Together
For Young People

LIFT (Living In Faith Together)

The LIFT program in our Life-long Learning ministry is intended to be basic religious formation for the whole Montelores Catholic Community.  It is intended to flow out from and into both the Generations of Faith sessions, which are the major pillars of our life-long learning, and the Sunday Eucharist, which is the source and summit of our faith.

The LIFT program has two parts:
1. Basic religious instruction for children and young people.
2. Breaking open the Sunday Scriptures for adults. 

Both parts of the program are scheduled simultaneously and immediately adjacent to our weekly celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord.  Both parts also include a meal.


LIFT for Young People Ages 6 - 17
The LIFT sessions for our children and young people are structured to be outflow and/or inflow complements to Generations of Faith, which provides the major hinge for all MCC life-long learning. 
 
Living In Faith Together: Ages  6-10
Twenty-one LIFT sessions are scheduled for the younger children this year.  They will be held Sunday morning at Cortez immediately before Mass.  Each session will include donuts, juice and coffee. 

Because of their relationship to Generations of Faith, the sessions are scheduled in four segments during this next year.

Living In Faith Together: Ages 11-17
Twenty-one LIFT sessions are scheduled for our young people this year.  They will be held on Saturday evening at Dolores immediately after Mass.  Each session will include a light supper. 

Because of their relationship to Generations of Faith, the sessions are scheduled in four segments during this next year.
