Elementary and Family Formation
Pray & Play: (Preschool Ages 4-5) In the preschool session, children learn about our Catholic faith in a hands-on way. Stories, songs, and hands-on activities will engage children as they pray and play together; learning about the Bible stories and God's love for them. Sessions will meet twice a month at the same time as the elementary grades on Wednesday at the 5:00 or 6:30 pm.
Elementary Grades K-4
Elementary students will meet in classrooms by grade level twice a month on Wednesday evenings from 5:00-6:00 pm or 6:30-7:30pm (the class time you registered for). While students attend their session, parents are encouraged to stay for fellowship and are welcome to use the tables in the hall or to pray in the nave.
