Steve Jobs made a “Dent in the Universe”

This was sent to me by a friend reflecting on the sad death of Apple Founder Steve Jobs.  I think it is worth sharing. “We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?” —Steve Jobs At the passing of Steve Jobs, Apple founder and business mogul, we learned a new “i” word – iSad.  People immediately began texting, tweeting and facebooking “iSad” and other messages as a way of expressing their grief over the …

Volunteers/Catechists Needed

Holy Family is in need of Catechists, those willing to share faith with children, teens and adults. Recruiting catechists is one of the most difficult challenges that catechetical leaders face!

Religious Education for First through Fifth Grade

Mission Statement

The Religious Education Program offers instruction to children in 1st through 5th grade. We are committed to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ in the Catholic tradition through education and formation, celebrating liturgy and prayer, experiencing community and reaching out in service.

At Holy Family, we are delighted to partner with you and your child on this journey of faith!

The mission of our ministry is to help children develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and the Christian community and increase their knowledge of the core content of the Catholic faith. Together with the family, the parish, and our team, our goal is to plant seeds of faith to equip your child and your family to grow as disciples of Jesus.

Families Forming Disciples (FFD) is also a part of the calendar. FFD is a once-a-month family-centered approach to formation with the goals of educating, encouraging conversation between family members, and deepening a connection between families and the church community. These special Sunday sessions are for you and your child to attend.

Sacrament preparation for First Eucharist and reconciliation is a two-year process, usually beginning in first grade. Sacrament preparation is open to all children. Our office will guide families seeking sacraments for older children, including baptism.

We offer faith formation classes on Sunday mornings from 8:00 AM to 9:15 AM or Wednesday afternoons from 4:00 PM to 5:15 PM. Please upload a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate, including children baptized at Holy Family, when completing this form. We look forward to serving you!

Blessings,

Colette Villegas, PCL
