Family Ministry

I work directly with families to help them grow in faith together through events, resources, and opportunities to connect within the parish. This includes organizing gatherings, supporting parents in their role as spiritual leaders, and creating spaces where families can build meaningful relationships with one another.

I also help integrate families more deeply into parish life, encouraging participation in the sacraments, community events, and ongoing formation, so that faith becomes an active and lived experience in their daily lives.

I walk with families as they grow in faith, love, and life together.

Approach to Family Ministry

Recognizing that young people come from, live within, and are members of a family, we do not treat them as independent individuals; therefore, we are providing resources to parents so that every young person who comes to this parish may develop, re-establish, and/or strengthen their relationship with their family—especially with their parents.

Catholics provide Family Ministry to strengthen and support families as the foundation of both the Church and society. It helps families grow in faith, love, and unity while living out their calling as the domestic church.
