Registration is open for 2026-2027 year.
Program Details: This program is for families who have younger children. Instead of a gathered program that meets regularly at our Parish, The Forming Young Families program is designed to help families grow in their Catholic faith by:
Providing parents with support and easy ways to learn about our faith.
Regular ways for families to get to know other young families like our semiannual social gathering called Come to the Feast as well as Meet Me At the Playground during weekend Donuts.
Sending weekly emails with low effort ideas to help young families grow in Catholic Identity together.
What we provide:
We begin each year with a Mass Bag workshop where there will be different activities and suggestions to help make Mass more engaging for younger kids.
Each Sunday, we print free resources for families to hand to their younger kids.
Each week we send a weekly email with easy ways young families can grow in Catholic Identity together.
