Why is it called "Faith Formation"

The focus is on forming faith, not just teaching religion. Also, it encompasses Christian Initiation,

Sacramental Preparation, Adult Faith Formation, and Faith Formation for children and youth. Bishop Corrada makes this change at the Chancery and hopes that parishes will follow the same path.
