Homebound Eucharist Ministers
In bringing communion to the sick and shut-ins the Eucharistic Minister represents Christ and manifests faith and charity on behalf of the whole community toward those who cannot be present at the Eucharist. For the sick the reception of communion is not only a gift but also a sign of support and concern shown by the Christian community for its own members who are ill.

Sunday School – Ages 3 to 1st Grade
In Sunday School we share the beliefs of our faith with your child. It helps your child to shape a foundation to build their own faith on.
We gather for prayer, Scripture, stories, songs, crafts and other fun activities to explore the world God created for us, what we can do to care for it and other living things in it with our families and friends.
We journey with Jesus through his birth, sacrifice and undying love for us and how we can serve and care for others each day.
The content of the lesson programs that we use have been found by The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
