Grow (K-5 Formation)
Parish support for helping to raise your family in the faith.
Mass and Family Catechesis
Families with children in grades k - 5 will receive catechesis in our GROW program twice a month on Sunday mornings. Sessions will be approximately 1 hour and will take place in between our 8 AM and 10:30 AM Masses. Families should arrive for check in and gathering between 8:45-9:00 in Dominican Hall. Refreshments will be provided.
This program will provide training support and resources for families to help educate their children in the Catholic faith, to grow in their discipleship to love and serve the Lord. Our program will incorporate the following:
- Celebrating the Mass, keeping in mind that the Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic faith, and most essential to the formation of our children.
- Resources from Word of Life by Augustine Institute.
- Works of mercy (events throughout the year).
- Family social events (throughout the year).
***1st Communion and 1st Penance candidates are expected to either participate in two years of GROW or be attending Saint Rose of Lima School. They will also have 4 direct prep classes in year two. Families of the school are strongly encouraged to participate in GROW but are not required to do so.
