Family Ministry

Come, join in the fun! Our gatherings in June were a big hit and now in the cool fall weather everyone can play together, meet other families, and enjoy some refreshments!

As families of faith we hope to form new friendships, support one another as parents, and to build up the body of Christ especially at St. Mary Church. 

Alieya and Michael Biggins have started this new Family Ministry and are planning more activities and opportunities for young families at St. Mary's. Please feel free to fill in the form below to be informed of new opprtunities to share your faith, joys, and possibly even struggles, with other Catholic families.

The family is, so to speak, the domestic church. In it parents
should, by their word and example, be the first preachers of the faith to their children; they should encourage them in the vocation which is proper to each of them, fostering with special care vocation to a sacred state. (Lumen Gentium, 11)

Heidi and Mark Witte have been producing free 30 minute Children’s Liturgy videos since the beginning of the pandemic. The interactiveness of their program encourages children to participate, appeals to various learning styles, and helps young children understand Scripture and their faith more fully! Free coordinating coloring pages are available each week for download at linktree.com/kidsliturgy. You can access this free catechetical resource by visiting their YouTube Channel or by searching for “Heidi Witte - Kids’ Liturgy” on YouTube. Their program also airs on CatholicTV each Sunday at 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST

Starting Tuesday, October 25, we are having a  WEEKLY playgroup for families (children with parents, grandparents, etc...)!!

Please join us in the parish hall with your little ones for coffee, snacks, crafts, play, and faith fellowship!
