- GROW Mass & Family Catechesis
  
  Families with children in grades K-5 attend the weekly 10:30 AM Sunday Mass
  and remain after for a fifteen-minute catechesis on the Sunday Gospel or related activity.
  
  The goal of the program is to provide training, support and resources for parents (or grandparents) to form their children in the Catholic Faith. The main elements of the program are:
  
  Celebrating the mass is the most fundamental aspect of living out a Catholic and is essential to raise children in the Catholic faith
  
  10:30 AM Mass is our focus and goal. Short catechetical sessions and activities based
  
  on the Gospel proclaimed at Mass.
  
  Works of mercy (events throughout the year)
  
  Family social events (throughout the year)
  
  1st Communion and 1st Penance candidates are expected to participate in two years of GROW and 4 direct prep classes in year two.
