Mission
The primary goal of this ministry is to collaborate with parents in the ongoing faith formation of their children and youth as all come to full maturity in Christ.  The parents and children are offered formal instruction in the faith, sacraments, Scripture in a variety of settings, opportunities to experience different prayer forms (personal and communal) and a deeper sense of mission that focuses on Catholic Social Teaching.
