Parent Handbook 2019-2020

One of our favorite times of year is Advent, when we paint our Nativity Sets! This tradition has lasted over 30 years, and is eagerly awaited by the kids, catechists and parents! 

Mission Statement: To teach Christ-Like attitudes and discipleship. To develop children with soulful minds, a sense of compassion for others, and to act on their Catholic beliefs. 

Kingdom Kids is our traditional faith formation program. Youth are in a single-age group classroom. Our weekly sessions include a welcome, Scripture, connection to life, and prayer.  Emphasis is placed on the Four Pillars of the Catholic Faith:

1. What We Believe ((The Apostles' Creed)
2. How We Worship (The Sacraments)
3. How We Live (The Ten Commandments and Beatitudes)
4. Prayer

When do you meet?

You have two choices on Monday evenings, from either 4:45-5:45 pm or 6:15-7:15 pm. We meet most Mondays during the school year.

What curriculum is used?

The catechists teach from the Finding God series from Loyola Press. The curriculum is on the United States Council of Catholic Bishops (usccb) conformity list. Each child receives a student text.

How can I help?

It's very easy to be a catechist (teacher). The lessons are written for you and all supplies are prepared. Come share your faith! The Diocese of Winona asks that all volunteers complete a VIRTUS safe environment session. You may go attend any session offered on the website: virtus.org.

To volunteer contact Joyce Lehman.
