A formal process of learning about the teachings of the Catholic Church and developing a personal understanding of Jesus. Students are taught in age appropriate classes and learn with their peers. Offered from Pre-K to 5th Grade.

As you begin to consider, or renew your interest in liturgical ministry at Holy Family, we thank you for your "YES!" to God, and your prayerful discernment during this process. Our Masses are made ever more beautiful by the full active participation of all the faithful.

The Monday morning at 10:30am is in person in the Faith Room of the Parish Office. Bible Study leader - Donna Holt ( [email protected] ) and Alicia Morales ( [email protected] ) Topic: Prophets: Messengers of God Mercy
