Parent’s
Group Parents
of children of all ages are invited to attend an informal gathering to discuss
how to incorporate the teachings of the church into our day to day life at
home. Father Stephen will facilitate the group discussion, designed to
complement what our children learn in Sunday School. The plan is for this
group to meet on a regular basis and discuss upcoming holy days, traditions
and share ideas from other parents. There will also be time for
fellowship and activities for children while the grown ups talk. This
is a great opportunity for parents in our parish to meet other parents.
