As Catholics...
We are all called to grow in our faith in a lifelong process beginning at birth and continuing through the end of life.
The Christian Education Committee provides many programs and activities both formal and informal which will enable all to grow in their faith and exercise their Christian discipleship in the world.
If you or someone you know might be interested in being involved in any of these programs, please contact the parish office.

Create A Family Prayer Space
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, families have spent more time together at home. One good use of this time would be to pray together on a regular basis. This prayer time together can be enhanced by creating a place in your home dedicated to prayer.
Making a place for prayer in our home can help us do what the Gospel tells us, to go into an “inner room” to pray (Matthew 6:6). Make your prayer place as quiet, uncluttered, and “desert-like” as possible. It can be the corner of a room or any unused space. Furnish your prayer place with a Bible, prayer books, cross, rosary, icons, and a candle. Encourage family members to use the prayer place for personal as well as family prayer. You can bless your place of prayer, saying:Come, Holy God. Dwell in this place of prayer,
and bless it with your peace and presence.
Bless all who seek you here.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
