There will be a children's guided prayer at 4:15, but families are welcome to come and go as they are able! Even as few as 10 minutes can be hugely beneficial to your family.

Interested in volunteering?
Our magnificent catechist teams are composed of parishioners and Catholic Hoos students who work together to teach our K-5 students. Full class planning resources are provided for all volunteers, and supplemented with additional resources. If you are interested in volunteering, even just as a part-time substitute, please reach out by email! This is a wonderful way to more fully integrate into the parish and grow in your own faith.
