Once a month (usually the 2nd Sunday of each month), parents and grandparents lead the catechetical sessions for their children and youth. All lessons and materials will be provided by our catechetical team.
Twice a month (usually the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month), while the children and youth meet separately, faith formation sessions are offered for parents. These sessions are designed to provide resources and support for parents to grow in their faith as primary catechists of their own children.
Twice a month (usually the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month), while parents are engaged in their faith formation sessions, children in preschool through 8th grade meet separately. These sessions are designed to promote a sense of community and foster their social and spiritual development. Children and youth sessions are divided into age-appropriate groups (preschool, lower elementary, upper elementary, middle school).
Once a month (usually the 4th Sunday of each month), families gather to learn about and engage in various spiritual practices or methods of prayer. Prayer is an essential part of our spiritual lives as our relationship with Jesus Christ is central to our Christian faith. Prayer allows us to open our minds and hearts to the voice of God within our hearts.
During the 10:30 AM Mass on Sundays, Children’s Liturgy of the Word is provided for children in preschool through 5th grade. Children younger than preschool must be accompanied by their parents. Parents of all participating children are welcome to join.
Preparation for the Sacraments of First Communion/First Reconciliation and Confirmation is a 2-year process. Sacramental Preparation classes are offered based on the needs of our community. Class meetings are scheduled accordingly. Additional information will be provided to enrolled families.
In addition to family catechesis, faith formation, and prayer sessions, various events are scheduled during the year to foster community-building and fellowship among our families. Examples of additional events include: trunk-or-treat, father-child day, mother-child day, Christmas celebration, parent retreat, family retreat, community service activities, praise night, and VBS (Vacation Bible School).
