For those children who have not yet received First Eucharist, visit our ENCOUNTER-RECEIVE website.

After a child has received First Eucharist, we guide them to what it means to be a Catholic disciple – how the Sacraments help us form a stronger relationship with Jesus and allow us to let our words and actions shine His light.  It is during these years that we also introduce our Baptismal call to serve others and share the Good News.  Children are encouraged to participate in our monthly Children’s Mass, the Children’s Choir, our monthly Family Connections events, as well as other opportunities seen through the links below! For more specific questions, please contact Michelle!
