Family Program 2022 (Grades K-6)
Second Sunday of the month 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM starting October 9
Open to grades K-6 and their siblings ages 3-4
Our Family Program brings the family together once a month after Mass. We meet in the cafeteria at St. Alexis for a snack and fellowship. Families will pray together and do a hands-on activity to grow in faith together. Then, the children will go to class with a volunteer catechist while the parents participate in adult formation designed to help them raise their children in the Catholic faith as a Domestic Church. The weeks that we do not meet on site, families will complete lessons at home using the Christ in Us curriculum from Sadlier Publishing. This curriculum has all grade levels learning the same topic in each chapter, at increasing depth and maturity as they get older. So you can complete the home lessons together! -
