Together, we can ensure that our resources are used faithfully and fruitfully for the good of our parish family.
4 YOUTH:
Prayer is our means of having a conversation with God. God wants us to share with Him - our joys and our pains, our hopes and our frustrations, the good and the bad that happens in our lives. It is important to plan a time and place each day, otherwise, with our busy lives, it just won’t happen. Consider saying morning prayers as soon as you get up (petitions for people that you’ve promised to pray for, thanks for the gift of another day and an offering of that day to God) or a walk at lunch or break time to meditate quietly on a scripture quote, or time before bed to read a few Bible verses or pray some favorite prayers. Praise God or thank Him or ask Him for help - He’s always ready to listen to you.

Registration is open and ongoing for K to year 6. Registration for Confirmation is closed. Schedules and registration sheets can be found at the entrances to the parish or at the parish office.
