Step 3: Order Parent Guide and Student Activity Book

GIFT uses A Family of Faith from Sophia Institute as the base curriculum for our family catechesis program, to be supplemented with additional resources throughout the year. Following GIFT registration, please order one copy each of the green Vol III: Life in Christ Parent's Guide and Activity Book for your family by clicking on the image below. Use discount code "STM35" at checkout. During checkout you will be prompted to sign in or create a free Sophia account. 

Step 4: Join Our Slack Community

To share information, foster conversation and keep families connected, we use a robust messaging tool called Slack as our primary means of communication. Slack can be used on your computer and/or smartphone. To join our private workspace, please sign up by clicking the icon below.
