Introduction
Once monthly on a Sunday, the entire family will gather for the 9:30 Mass, followed by a light breakfast and interactive formation in a faith topic. Parents will meet as a group while the children enjoy their own grade-level appropriate experience with a catechist. Childcare for your little ones is provided! Coming together as one to conclude the morning experience of worship, formation, and community, families will take home three topics to complete together in the course of the month. These topics are related to the subject matter the parents just explored together.
