Faith Formation

Anyone who knows us knows that we are not overly religious people.  So it may come as a surprise that I signed Brad up for Faith Formation classes.  Back when I was a kiddo, it was called religious education.  I guess I signed him up because a part of me remembers making my first communion and what a big deal it was and I want that for him too.  I took him to mass this morning, as it was a requirement for his class, and I was extremely nervous about it.  This is the first time that Brad had attended Mass.  I just know my kid and to sit and pay attention for an hour was going to be quite the task.  And I was not wrong!  I know that part of it is completely my fault for waiting until he was 6 1/2 years old to take him to mass, but then again, I know my kid and I didn't want to subject the rest of the parishioners to him!  For the most part he was good, although all he wanted to do was play with the kneelers.  I am hoping that he does like his Faith Formation classes and will someday look forward to going to Mass!
