Youth Religious Education

Preschool

Children’s Liturgy of the Word is offered Saturday night at our 5:00pm Mass and Sunday morning at the 8:00 and 10:30am Masses. In the attached parish hall, children sing, hear a reading or the gospel in story form, color or craft, and pray while the regular Liturgy of the Word takes place in the church. The program is written with preschool age in mind, but all children are welcome.

Adult Faith Formation Programs

Small Christian Communities

Small Christian Communities (SCC) are groups of eight to twelve people who gather in homes each week to deepen and support each other's faith. There are four components to Small Christian Communities: learning and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, Christian community, prayer, and service. Participants come together to explore a variety of ways to connect their faith with daily life experiences. Faith and friendship grow through ongoing support and encouragement of each other. Learning to pray for each other, the needs of our local, national and global communities and learning new ways to worship God are central to a small group. Through service they reach beyond their own small circle and witness to the world the good news of Jesus Christ.
