Children's Ministry (PreK-Gr 5)

- "Let everything take second place to our care of our children, our bringing them up to the discipline and instruction of the Lord. If from the beginning we teach them to love true wisdom, they will have great wealth and glory than riches can provide." ~ St. John Chrysostom
  
  "How precious is the family, as the privileged place for transmitting the faith!" ~ Pope Francis
  
  Our children are gifts from God - each created unique and beautiful in His image. Parents have a special responsibility to introduce and nurture their child's faith within their domestic churches.
  To assist you with this important task, the Lifelong Faith Formation Program offers the following programs for our young parishioners. Working hand in hand with the Faith Formation Team, each level helps you engage their hearts, establish strong roots, and nurture growth in your child's most important relationship - with God.
- PreK-Kindergarten
  Ready, Set, Go is the beginning of our foundational ministry. Families in our Preschool and Kindergarten program begin filling their "spiritual backpacks" with the tools they need to start their lifelong relationship with God. We are currently using as the main text Allelu! by OSV Publishing. This program helps our youngest children take their first steps in their faith journey with weekly leaflets and stories that help your family live Christian values day by day.
- Grades 1-2
  Currently families in Grades 1 & 2 focus on preparing for reception of sacraments.
  For more information, go to our Sacramental Preparation Program Page.
- Grades 3-5
  Discover is the next level of our children’s ministry. Children in grades 3-5 will deepen and strengthen their unique relationship with God and Church as they begin to take the first steps on their individual lifelong faith journey. We are currently using as the main text Discover! Finding Faith in Life by St. Mary’s Press. This amazing program centers on the bible and includes an online component to provide flexibility and further assist your family as you continue your faith journey.
