      FAITH DEVELOPMENT

      Children's Liturgy of the Word

      During our 4:00 PM Saturday Mass and 11:00 AM Sunday liturgies, children are invited to take part in the Children’s Liturgy of the Word. This provides children with the opportunity to hear the readings of the day from the Children’s Lectionary and to discuss these readings with catechists. Children’s Liturgy of the Word continues this weekend, Saturday, March 17, 2018 at 4:00PM and Sunday, March 18, 2018 at 11:00AM.



      Faith Formation (Religious Education)


      Tuesday nights, in our parish, have been reserved as a time for all children, ages four and up to participate in Faith Formation sessions focused on “Finding  God”. Throughout the year, children along with Catechists, will explore the following themes: Knowing Jesus, We Belong to Jesus, We Worship, We are Called by Jesus and We are Sent by Jesus. All children, regardless of whether they are preparing to receive a sacrament or not, are invited and most welcome to attend our Faith Formation Sessions. Jesus said, “let the children come to me.” As well, parents are encouraged to assist the Catechists and children as they work and play their way to a better understanding of the gift of faith. Faith Formation Sessions take place on Tuesdays at 6:30 PM at the Pastoral Centre.



      Faith Formation for Grades 6, 7 & 8

      Young Persons in Grades 6, 7 & 8, are invited to meet on Tuesdays at 6:30 PM at the Pastoral Centre (Union Highway).
