Welcome to Our Lady of the Lake Children's Faith Formation, Grades 1-6

A new approach to family faith formation! The Faith Formation staff at Our Lady of the Lake is excited to offer this engaging way for families to grow in their faith individually and as a domestic church.
This year our EXPLORE FOUR program will utilize the parish and the family home as its source for learning, prayer, worship, and service. We will provide examples of how families can actively live their faith in both environments.
Each of the categories listed on the EXPLORE FOUR Chart has events or activities that correspond to one of the four areas of faith life. We STUDY by attending classes, We PRAY by learning the prayers and setting aside time to pray as a family, individually, and parish community, We WORSHIP by coming together to celebrate the Sacraments and Liturgy and We LIVE our faith through the day-to-day interactions with one another and our community through Christian service! 

Our Early Childhood Faith Formation, Children’s Faith Formation, and Youth Ministry will all participate in the Explore Four model of family faith formation.   All  EXPLORE FOUR activities or events will require the family to complete the Online Reflection Form to receive credit for that activity or event.
We look forward to partnering with you as your family grows in the Catholic Faith through our EXPLORE FOUR FAMILY FAITH FORMATION.

Note from the Diocese of Dallas on Children’s Sacraments and Religious Education:

Please be aware that only a parent or legal guardian may arrange for a minor child's sacraments, or religious education. It must be confirmed that any person registering a minor child for continuing religious education, or sacramental preparation, has the legal authority to do so. If that adult’s name is not reflected on the child’s birth certificate, or in the case of an already baptized minor child, on the baptismal certificate, the person must provide the proper documentation that shows he/she has the legal right to arrange for the spiritual needs of this child.
