In light of the time we are in where we remain physically separated from the parish community, let's join together in spirit and love for faith-filled time that the whole family can enjoy!

All families are invited to print and complete this Jesus activity and take a photo of their kids with it when complete.

A Special Message from Catechists for Families during this time!
