CFC, the Catholic Faith Club, not only is a club but a unique society that has brought people of different beliefs, opinions, and history together to commerce their thoughts on their faith. This club, created by seniors Kaitlyn King, Andrew Rain, and Wilson Wujcik, has plans to positively change Parkway Central for the better.
King hopes that this group allows her to connect with her classmates on a deeper level.
“What I love about CFC is that it’s been able to bring my faith into my school community, which are very important parts of my life. I also love the community and consistency of having people that I feel comfortable talking to,” King said.
Although it was founded by seniors, students in a variety of grades come together to discuss their thoughts. Junior Allyssa Schaut believes this group is for anyone and everyone who is willing to share their ideas on the matter.
“What I would want others to know is that Catholicism isn’t the stereotype that people think it is, it can be something that is fun and freeing. This group is to guide people through their faith no matter what it is,” Allyssa said.
This club mostly contains athletes, and people who have a lot to juggle on their schedule. In which senior Wilson Wujcik, who is on the Parkway Central varsity basketball team, doesn’t seem to struggle with this challenge.
“I enjoy that this club is an escape from homework and sports. I really look forward to it every week and it’s just an amazing way to disconnect from worldly matters and take a break,” Wujcik said.
Connecting these students from all different backgrounds to one group can really be effective in growing the bond that Central has. The meetings held every week is what is holding these students together in their faith and community. King expresses her connection made through this group.
“I’ve been able to connect with others through CFC because of being able to talk with people of my faith and connect with people I didn’t even know I could relate to. It has been an amazing experience to be able to get to know people that I’ve never really been around until now,” King said.
As the seniors graduate freshman Amanda Schaut hopes to continue the efforts of the club founders and keep it going throughout her years in high school.
“I plan to keep attending next year as much as I can and I hope the group will continue to grow. Especially because I’m just a freshman so I have time to help this group grow and flourish to something that people can deem important,” Amanda said.
Both of these sisters consider the importance of this group and how far they have come as people to be a part of it.
“I definitely plan to keep this group going in the future years for incoming students to grow further in their faith just as me and Amanda have,” Allyssa said.
