The Child Ministry Program is designed for preschool children through sixth grade. We strive to provide a solid foundation that will allow your child's faith-life to be a part of everything they do now and as they grow up. We are Christ-centered, our goal is to help your child learn about the Catholic Faith and to become Christ-like in their words, thoughts, and actions. We also want to help you, their parents, grow in your own faith.
