Grades 1 – 5 Children’s Ministry

Our children’s ministry programming provides a place to cultivate the faith formation of children from first through fifth grade. Our catechists provide a warm, nurturing environment for sharing the ideals of our Catholic faith. Peace, joy, and unity naturally blossom through faith-filled living. Recognizing the family as the key formative structure, we support each parent in their faith journey as a family. Our first through fifth grade students meet in the parish hall Monday afternoons from 3:15 – 4:30 p.m., September through May.

Program highlights include:

 Blessing of the Animals

Bring your pets to the OLMC courtyard for a special blessing from the priest.

All Saints Day

Sandwich making to feed the poor delivered to local soup kitchens.

Nativity Play and Dinner

A full parish family event celebrating the true spirit of Christmas. All children in grades 1-5 have a part in the play!

Children’s Reconciliation Services

May Crowning

An annual procession and coronation of the statue of Mary with flowers in our parish plaza, accompanied with prayer and song.

Weekly Prayer Service

We end each session with a large group reflection and prayer!
