FAMILY MINISTRY
The goal of this ministry is to create a firmer foundation for families to practice their faith. The Family Ministry presents the Advent Affair and Lenten Family Night. Both of these activities provided an opportunity for reflection, prayer and activities to be done that night and during the holiday season.

As "families" are various shapes and sizes, anyone is welcome to become part of this ministry. Time commitments vary according to the season. Look for announcements in parish publications and flyers detailing meetings and plans.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
One week each summer is set aside for this exciting blend of sharing faith, storytelling, activities, art projects, singing and all-around fun for children ages 4 through 12. Each year's theme focuses on an aspect of Christian life and correlates Bible stories. Adult and teen volunteers share their time, talent and enthusiasm with the young people of our parish and surrounding areas.

YOUTH MINISTRY
Youth group meetings for various age groups are held throughout the school year. The goals are to encourage community service and faith growth while having fun. Past activities include work at a local hunger center, retreats, bowling, lock-ins and picnics, as well as participation in diocesan and regional CYO events.

Read the parish bulletin for weekly announcements. Knowing that "many hands make light work" we are always in need of new volunteers willing to offer their gifts and talents to our young people.
