News and Events for Families

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY PAGE

"Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was greatly displeased and said to them, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God" (Mark 10:13-14)

Without a doubt, children were—and are—of the utmost importance to our Lord. During His earthly ministry, He made it clear that children are a true blessing in our lives, that there are spiritual lessons to be learned by witnessing their innocence, pure faith and open-heartedness. As He reminded His disciples so long ago, He reminds us today: our children belong to Him; He wants them kept close to Him; and for those of us who are parents, it is our responsibility to lead our precious little ones to His feet.

To this end, we sincerely hope and pray our Family Page will offer your family true assistance and encouragement. Here you will find simple, inspirational stories about the lives of the saints to share with your children; special seasonal, morning, nighttime and dinner prayers; tips on keeping your family active, healthy and functional in every way; faith-based coloring pages; "Q & A" sessions with Fr. Alex on topics of faith; and a host of other spiritual tools that will help you bring the Church into your home and move your little ones, and entire family, closer to our Father every day.
