SAFE ENVIRONMENT... what does it mean?All dioceses/eparchies are mandated by the Charter for Protection of Chidlren and Young People to implement safe environment programs. These programs must include:
- A written code of conduct for employees and volunteers who work with youth people.
- Training programs for adults whose duties include ongoing, unsupervised contact with minors (such as parents, ministers, educators, church personnel and volunteers); training should include materials on prevention, identification, response and reporting of abuse.
- Training programs for children and young people that include materials on personal safety.
- A mechanism for background checks of all personnel who have regular contact with minors.

Celebrations, including Mass, are essential for family life, says Pope Francis.

Parents: Our parish goal is to Know, Love and Serve God and our Neighbor. A few years ago, we discovered barriers for families being able to fully engage this goal. We wanted to make our programs work together for families. Adult Ministry is a great way to learn and grow in your faith while your children are in class.
We need a tremendous amount of partnership from
parishioners to be sustainable—partnership in small groups, teaching, snacks, setup, cleanup, greeting, coordination, and logistics. Please consider volunteering. We hope you will engage your entire family in our parish this year. May the Lord guide our head, heart, and hands as Family Ministry begins.
A new and separate Medical/Liability waiver must be filled out for each child in the program . You can download one for each child, fill out and bring with you or they will be available at registration and in the parish office. -
If you placed an order for First Communion pictures, they will be available in the parish office! Thank you!
Si hiciste un pedido de fotos de Primera Comunión, estarán disponibles para recoger a partir en the oficina paraoquia! Gracias! -
What is Family Ministry?Que es "Ministerio Familiar?"El proposito de nuestra parroquia es conocer, amar y servir a Dios y al prójimo, pero en el último año, hemos descubierto barreras para las familias y no pueden participar plenamente con este proposito. Queremos que nuestros programas ayuden a las familias. Elegimos los nuevos horarios, cambiamos los horarios de nuestras Misas, e hicimos lo possible para que este disponible para todas las edades. El Ministerio Familiar se ofrecera una vec por semana:1:00-2:30pm el domingoNecesitamos un enorme apoyo de los miembros de la parroquia para que este cambio sea posible y sostenible referente con grupos pequeños, enseñanza, bocadillos, instalación, limpieza, registro, hospitalidad, la coordinación y organización así que por favor considera participar en este emocionante y nuevo proyecto. Tu compromiso puede ser semanal, cada dos semanas, mensual o ocasionalmente. Esperamos que usted tome ventaja de estos cambios y involucre a su familia entera, no importa la edad, en nuestra parroquia este año. Que el Señor guíe nuestras mentes, corazones y manos para comenzar el Ministerio Familiar.
