We invite everyone in our parish to join us for Family Faith Nights! Offered regularly from October through June, these evenings are a chance to grow closer together as a parish family and learn more about our Catholic faith. Each night includes interactive displays, games, crafts, activities and lots of fun learning! We'll begin with a potluck dinner: each FFN has a special potluck theme. Our evenings take place in the Parish Hall (School Gym).
* Enjoy a potluck dinner starting at 6:00pm after Saturday Vigil Mass (Mass is at 5:00pm, you can drop off dishes in the Parish Hall before Mass if you wish)
* Gather for an opening message including prayer and the introduction of our special theme at 6:30pm
* Participate in a wide variety of games, crafts and activities while learning about our Catholic faith (starting around 7pm)
* Closing message at 7:40pm will include prayer, wrap up and prize drawing. You can continue to participate in activities until 8:00 if you wish.
* All parishioners are invited to attend: families with children of any age, singles, couples, elderly, young adults. All are welcome!
