HOW?

• While children/youth attend their classes, parents will attend a monthly workshop where they will learn through teaching, discussion, and activities on how to engage their children in Faith and life.  2nd Year First Communion parents and children will typically meet 2x per month.
• Parents work with their children throughout the month in discussion and activities that involve the whole family.  
• Families will come together, along with the whole parish, to enjoy events as a parish family. 

• Parents and children will meet at 12:30pm-2:00pm on specified Sundays per month for catechesis.  On these days, a parish-wide meal will take place from 11:45am-12:30pm.
• Families are to come celebrate the parish-wide celebrations at which the children will have a check in with their catechist and likely have a role in the celebration!
• Classes begin on Oct. 6th.
