330+ CHILDREN ARE GROWING IN FAITH HERE.Every week, more than 330 children and young people come to the Family Center for catechism and faith formation. Here, they learn about Christ, prepare for the sacraments, pray together, and build a faith that we hope will guide them throughout their lives.
More than a building.
The Family Center was built to support the mission of forming children and young people in the Catholic faith.
But its impact extends far beyond the classroom.
The Family Center also plays a vital role in parish life by providing space for ministries, retreats, Bible studies, conferences, meetings, sacramental preparation, and community gatherings.
It is a place where parishioners of all ages pray, learn, gather, build relationships, and grow as disciples of Christ.
Where we are today
Our parish still carries a significant financial obligation on the Family Center. Reducing this debt is important to the long-term financial health of our parish and our ability to continue serving future generations.
