    What is WCC?
    WCC is a Generations of Faith approach to faith formation that provides an integrated and comprehensive approach that equips the parish to become a community of learning. WCC promotes lifelong faith formation that is centered in the events of church life, embraces all ages and generations, and promotes faith growth at home through parish preparation programs.

    WCC Gatherings embrace the vision of faith formation found in the General Directory for Catechesis. The parish is viewed as a learning community which requires a community or ‘whole church’ paradigm of faith formation. Through our WCC process we aim to:

    • Transform the focus on children-only by implementing lifelong faith formation for all ages and generations, including and especially adults. 

    • Transform "start and stop" catechesis by implementing lifelong and continuous faith formation: learning for a lifetime through involvement in the events of Church life.

    • Transform age segregation by implementing intergenerational faith formation: making connections among the generations in learning programs and parish involvement.

    • Utilize the events of church life as the curriculum for all ages and generations: tapping into the educative and transformative power of the Liturgical Year, sacramental celebrations, community prayer, works of justice and service, and by providing catechesis that prepares everyone for learning by participating in the events of church life.

    • Transform catechesis that is viewed as a separate program by implementing a more collaborative and integrated process that involves all of the parish in faith formation. Catechesis is interconnected with liturgy, sacraments, the Liturgical Year, justice and service, and prayer.
