We realize that parents are the first and foremost teachers of our faith. Our role as a Children's Ministry team is to support families in laying the foundation as our child(ren) prepare for a lifelong faith journey.
Age 3 - Kindergarten Sunday School provides age appropriate faith formation guided by biblical faith and the teachings of the Catholic Church in a traditional classroom setting. Sunday School is available during the 9:00 am Mass from mid-September through mid-May.
Age 3 - Grade 5 This religious formation program utilizes Montessori techniques and develops each child's knowledge of our faith and relationship with God. Trained catechists gather with children in small groups and present lessons using interactive materials that represent the Bible and our Church’s liturgy. Children meet in specially prepared rooms with materials geared toward each age group. In addition to working in small groups, children are encouraged to move about the room to work with materials and everyone participates in a prayer time each week. We offer this program on Wednesday.
Grades 1-5 Our traditional faith formation program is offered Monday evenings. Children meet in grade specific groups. Our curriculum is textbook based, and we provide a wide range of activities and creative crafts. We provide music and prayer time, with thoughtful and caring catechists. Children will have opportunities for service projects, and come together in large groups for many activities which support our Parish and our community.
