We want to better equip you, as parents, to communicate the faith and have fun along the way! We want your children to experience you as the primary disciple of Jesus, who shows them in turn how to be disciples. You will find community here.

We will all walk on a journey of faith towards encountering Jesus:

​

• In Opening the Word (Prayer, Scripture)

• Breaking Bread with Others (Mass)

• Living our Faith (by Serving the Needs of Our Community)
