“The Church proclaims the Gospel to the family. The Christian community is a family of families and is itself the family of God.”
We aim to support parents in these formative years as their families build a relationship with Christ and a desire for the life-giving sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. The foundation for these sacraments is more caught than taught. Therefore, we gather young families in small groups monthly on Sunday mornings to build the foundation of their faith through games, activities, discussions & fellowship. At-Home Explorations help parents continue the discussions throughout the month. Family activities and events are scheduled throughout the year to help parents incorporate liturgical seasons, service and community into family life. New this year we will provide additional parent support through individual small groups, adult learning opportunities and resources.
Activities in our monthly meetings are geared toward grades 1st – 5th. At least one parent must accompany the children. Both are welcome and encouraged, even if coming from a different faith tradition. PreK 3, 4 & K siblings will meet in separate rooms for age appropriate formation. Older siblings are welcome to join their family and HS siblings may opt to volunteer in the PreK/K rooms. For age appropriate options for 6th grade+ CLICK HERE.
We understand all families are different. Please do not hesitate to discuss your needs with us so we can find a path forward that best serves you. Contact Shannon Civetta any time.
NOTE: Finances should never come in the way of faith formation. Please let us know how to help.

We Need Adult Volunteers!
Family Faith Shepherds - Our families will meet in small groups – parents and children – based on schools and neighborhoods. Each group will need a facilitator; a volunteer who gets to know the families and leads them through the activities. All plans and supplies are provided. No experience necessary – Just the heart to share your faith with young families. We meet one Sunday a month for 90 minutes at 9a or 10:45a. (Sep – May)
Pre K and K Volunteers– Preschoolers & Kindergarteners in our program will enjoy special time in their own rooms. Volunteers will lead the children through a fun curriculum while their families are in Family Faith or enjoying an adult only Mass.
