Teaching Masses
Once a month, during Mass there will be a 10-15 minute teaching on a different topic from our Catholic tradition. Everyone is invited to then gather in the parish center for an opportunity to build community with one another, discuss and briefly share on the topic, and enjoy a beverage and breakfast treat.
Intro to Church
At Saturday 4pm or Sunday 9:30AM, young children are invited to take part in this experience that mimics the four movements of Mass (gathering, storytelling, meal sharing, sending forth.)
This opportunity for the younger members of our parish to “experience” church in a child focused way.
Children may gather in the vestibule prior to Mass and process in with the priest and liturgical ministers. Then they are dismissed to their own “worship” space where they will listen to a story related to the message in the weekly readings, complete a related craft activity or participate in music/movement prayer experience, have a little snack and then return to the community and their families after Communion for the final blessing. This experience is meant to mimic what happens at Mass: Introductory Rites, Liturgy of the Word, and Liturgy of the Bread.
Mass Kits
Coloring/activity sheets/crafts for take home will reflect the readings of the week, Feast or liturgical season.
Family Learning Events
Everything we do together as a parish community is an opportunity to form faith. Parish events such as the yard sale, Christmas Fair, Fill a Ford, Seder Supper, or Walk the Walk can be things to participate in as a family. Celebrating the different liturgical feasts of the year or being part of blessings such as “back to school/backpacks”, “getting one’s license”, “mothers or fathers day” all provide teaching moments.
The fee for Faith Formation classes is $100.
