Sunday School

Part of the catechetical program of the parish is aimed at children in classes that take place during the 10:30 a.m. Sunday liturgy, September through May.  These classes for children in 3-K, 4-K and Kindergarten, expose the participants to the stories of our faith through song and activity and allow parents to assist at the liturgy in church without the demands of young children.  A number of teachers (18+) and aides (14+) are needed to give proper supervisions to the children.

Young Adults

Young adults, those who have graduated high school to those in their early 40’s, are an important part of the Church.  Single members generally have time that they can contribute to parish ministries, and young married couples offer the gift of children and the possibility of growth to the parish which is multi-generational.  It is a primary concern of pastorals to provide for the spiritual and catechetical needs of parishioners who fall into this age group, especially those who do not have children in the parish school where other kinds of support are available.
