Yes. All prayer forms used in OHOF prayer groups are deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church. Our goal is to help children grow in a personal relationship with the Trinity while staying grounded in the richness and truth of the Catholic faith.

Yes—when done in the right spirit and setting. At OHOF, we create moments of joyful praise that reflect the Biblical tradition of expressive worship (see Psalm 149:3). Movement, dance, and song are used as forms of prayer and joy, always in a reverent and respectful way that honors the sacred space and draws hearts closer to God.

Faith Formation classes typically focus on teaching the doctrines and practices of the Catholic faith. OHOF prayer groups are different—they provide a space for children to personally encounter God's love through prayer, worship, and community. We don’t replace faith formation; we complement it by helping students move from head knowledge to heart relationship.

OHOF is a ministry, not a counseling service. While prayer and connection with God can bring healing, we do not provide professional mental health counseling. Our focus is on spiritual growth, formation, and helping children experience God’s love in a safe, prayerful environment. If emotional or psychological support is needed, we encourage families to seek help from licensed counselors or therapists.

Likely, yes—and that’s a good thing. OHOF offers a communal prayer experience designed for children, often involving worship music, guided adoration, and peer interaction. While different from family prayer at home, our hope is that the two experiences complement each other, inspiring children to bring what they’ve received at OHOF into their homes and deepen their family’s shared spiritual life.
