F.I.R.E (Family Intergenerational Religious Education)

This is a program created by families for families whose model is not grade-level classroom teaching but intergenerational groups of all ages. Family members of all ages meet together as a group with five-six other families from the community eighteen times during the catechetical year.  Elders bring their wisdom and experience; the middle-aged the practical wisdom; teenagers their idealism; the little ones the wisdom of wonder. The method is learning through play, experimentation and discovery.
