TUPELO – St. James parish has started a new catechesis program that includes both parents and children to create a sense of belonging and community. The program’s aim is to provide a fun and engaging learning environment for the whole family, equipping parents to pass the faith onto their children, and fostering relationships among parents and catechists. On Sunday, Aug. 18, Dr. Vallimar Jansen was the keynote speaker at the first-ever family faith formation event, with the theme“Better Together.” Valimar’s charisma, energy and many talents blessed parishioners with a beautiful message of unity.
