While you are home, we wanted to provide you with resources that you can access if you are not able to join us in person.

Our Director of Faith Formation, Katie Schaitberger, sent out a letter this past week (March 17, 2020) to all Faith Formation Families inviting them to take advantage of the many opportunities available to grow in faith and love for Christ and his Church — even while we are largely confined to our homes. 

Click here to view her letter entitled, “Ways to Grow in Our Catholic Faith for Adults and Kids” which includes links to prayer tutorials, informational videos, and even activities for children.

Sunday Celebrations

Sunday Celebrations is a free resource from RCL Benziger to help you celebrate Sunday with your family, in your home.  Each Sunday’s celebration focuses on the Gospel of the day, and encourages family members of all ages to join in singing, praying, sharing, and celebrating. Suggested songs and craft activities help enliven and extend the celebrations throughout the week.
