JOYFUL SUNDAYS is a family program created to give our families the opportunity to learn about our faith together. We start with the 10:30am Mass, then enjoy snacks followed by classes to end at 1:00pm once a month. Parents are the primary catechists and complete lessons at home.
We have some large group and family activities along with parent/adult breakout sessions during the year. We love to do service projects, too!

CREATION - IN THE BEGINNING
Do you know the story of Creation? God made everything good! Even you and me. What happened? We all have free will and choices to make. How will you know right from wrong? We start our year out with understanding who we are. We are created male and female and God saw that it was good. We have human dignity and so many gifts from God. Don't worry! He never abandons us! His mercy and forgiveness is forever. Great discussions for September! Click on picture for video!  Click on picture for video!

SPOTLIGHT ON THE MASS:
TRANSFORMATION! By allowing the mystery of the Eucharist to become a living reality in our lives, we can realize our full potential as human beings. The life that it transmits to us is none other than the very life of Jesus. As that life becomes more active in us and we are transformed into Jesus, we are assuming the very life of God — divine life. By taking time to consider how the life of Jesus is working in us, we can freely allow that life to affect our everyday lives. What better gift can we offer to those around us? —Excerpt from an article at BustedHalo.com & Sr. Bernadette Reis, fsp. Find out more about how to discern Christ’s call to transformation: TRANSFORMED IN THE EUCHARIST ARTICLE AT BUSTED HALO TRANSFORMATION Part 2
The Eucharist propels us forth to transform the world. The Eucharist “increases, rather than lessens, our sense of responsibility for the world today.” Christ in the Eucharist calls us to build “a more human world, a world fully in harmony with God’s plan” (Ecclesia de Eucharistia, no. 20). Filled with awe for all we have received in Christ’s self-gift, we respond with service and works of charity. We act to transform unjust structures, policies, and laws that degrade human life and dignity. -- Eucharist—Body of Christ, Broken for the World from the USCCB |
