Catholic web site offers online faith formation!

"When it comes to technology and information, kids on the Internet are not riding the wave of the future, they are the wave. Our challenge as people of faith is to connect the Gospel message with where kids are," says Jacquie Jambor, National Consultant and Catechetical Advisor at RCL, a Texas-based Catholic publishing company.

RCL’s answer to that challenge is an exciting free web site, www.FaithFirstcom. Designed for children, teens, and adults, www.FaithFirst.com allows families, schools, and parish formation programs to bring the Good News to life, using the Internet.

Specially crafted and easy-to-use pages include "Kid’s Clubhouse" for grades 1-3, "Kid’s Only Club" for grades 4-6, "Teen Center," "Faith First for Families," and "Catechist/Teacher" page. Downloadable activities, Scripture sessions, and interactive games make www.FaithFirst.com a place of fun, learning, and growth in faith on the web.

Creating www.FaithFirst.com complements RCL’s outstanding religious education series, Faith First, but the site is loaded with resources for any parish or school program, according to Timothy Mullner, Executive Director of Marketing at RCL. "With millions of hits each month and the positive feedback from parents, catechists, and teachers, we know www.FaithFirst.com is making a difference in people’s lives."
