Unfortunately, our ability to gather safely in groups has not improved dramatically. Family Connection programs will continue streaming through the winter 2021 season.  As a result, our younger programs will not be offered since streaming is not a productive platform for this age group.

Our Parish Family Connection Programs
Winter 2021

A program schedule will be available in late December,
but we anticipate that the following programs will continue to be offered.


TOGETHER: Families Growing in Faith
 

Families are invited to come together to enrich their understanding of our Catholic faith by participating in engaging hands-on activities to learn about the Mass, the Sacraments, prayer, and Catholic liturgical seasons. Registration will be monthly.  FORMAT: Streaming
This program is for the whole family. 

Journey to the Word 
 

We all want our children to grow into literate, thinking adults, but reading the Bible doesn’t happen in a day.  It takes time and practice to develop the literacy skills necessary to become a proficient reader. This program will focus on helping children build a strong foundation of phonological awareness skills to support their growing phonemic awareness and early literacy skills using fun and engaging activities.
Children will need an easy to open binder for filing their work. This is an important step in the process of learning alphabet skills. FORMAT: Streaming
This program is best suited for children entering kindergarten in Fall 2021.

Divine Duos
 

Parents and children will enjoy a time to sing and play together as they celebrate their child’s growing sense of self. The program encourages independence, sharing, and cooperation as we build strong language, thinking, motor, decision making, and social skills. The program includes rhymes, books, music, food art & cooking activities. FORMAT: Streaming
This program is for children 2½ - 4 years old & a caregiver.
