at the Church of St. Mark, formation for families is now
NAZARETH FAMILY MINISTRIES
We invite all married couples, parents and their children to join us for “Nazareth Nights.” We’ll enjoy a meal together, followed by a talk by a local speaker on critical topics.
Whether you are new to the parish or have been here for years — whether your children attend Catholic school or public school, or you homeschool — we had you in mind when we reconfigured and curated these evenings! Starting in October, Nazareth Nights are every first Wednesday evening except for March, amounting to seven sessions in all.
While adults listen, learn, and share together, kids from PreK-5th grade can make friends and build community through fun programming inspired by Holy Kids Camp with our PES sisters, along with teachings from them and volunteer catechists. Evenings will conclude with Night Prayer together as a parish family.
The evening schedule includes:
5:30pm: Dinner
6:00pm: Speaker for adults, separate programming for kids PreK-5th
7:15pm: Children return, night prayer together
* 6:30pm-8pm kids 6th-8th go to Middle School Ignite youth group
PARENTS AS PRIMARY EDUCATORS
In the Faith Formation program at the Church of St. Mark we strive to foster a love for Jesus Christ and to deepen the knowledge of the faith in the families of the parish. Our aim is to bring the faith alive in the hearts of the parents and children and to teach them about their call to holiness in their daily lives. Parents will receive formation as well and tools to help them respond to their call to be the primary educators of the faith to their children.
