CHILDREN & FAMILY MINISTRIES

Our Programs

Our goal for children & family ministries is to create and grow community amongst the youth and also to form the youth and families in relationship with God and each other!

Children's creativity

Family Faith Formation

We believe faith grows best when families learn and pray together. Twice a month, we gather families for fun, faith-filled activities that help parents share the Catholic faith with their children. Signup for Family Faith Formation here!

Group of Children

Children's Liturgy

On the Sundays when Family Faith Ministry isn't taking place, children are invited to join us for Children's Liturgy during Mass. It's an engaging way for them to hear God's Word and grow in their faith before returning to their families for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.​​

First Communion Ceremony

Sacramental Preparation

First Communion preparation takes place during our Family Faith Formation gatherings, with simple activities to continue at home.  ​If your child is ready to prepare, you can fill out this form here!​​​

Kids Drawing Together

Vacation Bible School

Every summer, we host a fun, faith-filled week of Vacation Bible School for children in Primary–Grade 5. Through Bible stories, music, games, crafts, and activities, children grow in faith, make friends, and have fun together.
