Children (Grades 1-5)

Using Word of Life (Ignatius Press/Augustine Institute), our meetings introduce children to the foundations of the Catholic faith in engaging and exciting ways.  We begin in the Church at 6:00pm with a large-group assembly where we pray together and learn about a Saint of the week, a Virtue of the week and a Little Latin.  Children then move to school classrooms to work on grade -level religious instruction. The evening concludes at 7:30pm.  Chapters, crafts, and family material are sent home with the children each week.  Every family will receive information about online resources from our Word of Life curriculum. We gather 7 times throughout the year for Religious Education Masses--kids come for a short classroom meeting on these days and then we join together for Mass at 6:45pm.

Parent Fellowship Meetings. On Mass days, we invite parents to stay for their own time of relaxing fellowship and a bit of education from 6:00-6:40pm. We will enjoy building community, learning more about our faith, and getting helpful tips for nurturing our family's faith. Parents are encouraged to stay for the RE Mass that will begin immediately after our Parent Fellowship meetings conclude (6:45-7:30).
 

We will learn more about Catholics from all over the world--we'll begin with how the faith spread in the first few centuries of the Church, then we'll visit every continent to learn more about our catholic (universal) Catholic Church!
