Seasons & Highlights

Rally Day

August / September

We begin the year with a joyful parish-wide day to kick off formation-time together for children, parents, and the whole parish. It's also a chance to register, learn about the year ahead, and volunteer.

Advent Preparations

December

As we prepare for Christmas, formation themes focus on the meaning of Christ's coming. Cookie Sunday and hands-on activities help children and youth enter the season with joy and purpose.

Christmas Celebration

December

Christmas Eve includes services designed for families, including the blessing of the creche and a joyful beginning to our celebration of the birth of Jesus.

Epiphany

January

We celebrate the revelation of Christ to the world with seasonal worship and family-friendly events, including the Epiphany Pageant and a return to formation after the holidays.

Lenten Journey

February / March

Lent invites reflection, renewal, and preparation for Easter. Children and youth explore Holy Week themes, and families often participate in a service project as we put faith into action.

Easter Resurrection

April

Holy Week and Easter are central to parish life. Easter Sunday includes joyful worship and family traditions like the Easter Egg Hunt and reception on the lawn.

Season Close

May / June

As the school year wraps up, themes turn toward Pentecost and the ongoing life of the Spirit. We ease the pace of programming while encouraging families to stay connected through worship and parish life.
