Our parish is very excited to be offering a Family Program for our families with children in Grades 5 and below. We will be partnering with parents to encourage families to grow in faith together within the home. Here is the setup for each month:
Week 1 – Family Class: Families will gather for a monthly class, the first week of each month. This will be a fun and engaging time for families to learn about the monthly topic and then meet in age level groups to dig a little deeper. Parents- there will be groups for you too! We will meet on Sunday mornings or Monday nights at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church Hall, or Tuesday nights (bilingual) at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Center. Families choose one of the monthly meeting days.
Week 2/3 – Home Practice: For the next two weeks, families will have some meaningful conversations at home and work on some of the things we learned at the Family Class. We will send you home with ideas and engaging activities.
Week 4 – Family Mass: At the end of each month we will gather for a Family Mass. We invite families and children to participate in these Family Masses as greeters, lectors, altar servers, and any other ways you would like! After Mass we will spend some time together while enjoying some snacks.
