Family Faith Night

What do Catholics believe about Jesus Christ? The mystery of Jesus' identity has been examined and explored for centuries. Come learn about the insights of our some of our greatest "detectives" (Saints and Fathers of the Church). Stations will include fun games, beautiful crafts, yummy snack and lots more chances to learn and play. We'll end the evening with a door prize drawing and closing prayer. 

Potluck dinner begins at 6:00pm. Bring a dish to share. Our theme for this FFN is "Mexican"
 

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 7:30pm 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!
