Parent Ministry

Experience growing in faith together within a small peer community of other families!

What is Parent Ministry?

Parent Ministry involves a Parenting Small Group Study and focused pastoral support throughout the year that is made accessible to parents by:

• Only taking place twice a month
• No cost involved
• Childcare provided and/or meeting times when PREP is in session
• No reading or preparing necessary outside of meeting times

What our participants have to say...

We loved the sense of community with common faith & understanding, learning more about Catholicism, sharing about family and raising kids in the faith, friendship, and laughter.

It was wonderful to connect more deeply with our catholic faith and have a chance to connect with other parish parents to discuss real topics, struggles, successes, etc.

We appreciated hearing that others have similar parenting concerns and hearing how they bring their faith to address them.

I loved every moment of it and made real connections.

We really enjoyed hearing how the other couples shared their faith with their children at different ages and stages.  We learned a lot of new ideas and also felt comfortable sharing parenting challenges.
