Growing In Faith Together
A New Era of Parish Live
Let's be honest:
It’s time for us to grow, change, and evolve as a parish family. We’re moving from a child-centered model to something more holistic and sustainable - intergenerational formation for everyone. It’s called GIFT: Growing In Faith Together.
Why GIFT?
Because faith isn't a checklist - it's a way of life. And we're meant not meant to live it alone. GIFT is about growing faith as a whole parish family. Not just kids. Not just parents. Everyone. Together.
We gather for Mass, share a meal, and grow closer to God and one another. Without everybody, we don't have a parish.
How Will It Work
✔️ One session per month
✔️ 3 hours total:
→ 1 hour at Mass
→ 1 hour enjoying a shared meal
→ 1 hour of age-appropriate formation
✔️ Support for youngest children (nursery available)
✔️ Faith formation for all ages—together
You Are Your Child's First and Most Important Teacher
"Parents are the first teachers of their children in the ways of faith"
- Rite of Baptism for Children
Before your child learns anything in a classroom or church program, they’re learning from you.
They watch how you pray, how you love, how you forgive, how you show up. Even when you’re not trying—you’re teaching. You might not feel like you have all the answers. That’s okay. Your presence, your questions, your effort—it all matters.
GIFT isn’t here to replace you.
It’s here to support you—and to remind you:
You are enough. And you are not alone.
GIFT is for Everyone
Not just families with kids.
It's for:
- Singles
- Married couples
- Teens & college students
- Empty nesters
- Grandparents
- Everyone in between
We need you
Your presence. Your story. Your faith. Because when you show up, the Church is more alive
Mass is not just included - it’s essential.
Mass is not the same without you.
Your presence makes the Church whole.
Each GIFT session begins with Mass, because:
Faith isn’t just taught. It’s lived.
