Children's Ministry offers support to parents in their role as witnesses as stated in the Final Blessing in the Catholic Rite of Baptism.

"The Lord, God Almighty, through his Son, born of the Virgin Mary, brings joy to Christian mothers as the hope of eternal life shines forth upon their children. May he graciously bless the Mother of this child so that, as she now gives thanks for the gift of her child, she may always remain united with him(her) in thanksgiving, in Christ Jesus our Lord.  May the Lord, God Almighty, the giver of life both in heaven and on earth, bless the Father of this child, so that, together with his wife, they may, by word and example, prove to be the first witnesses of the faith to their child, in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Amen."  

Children's Ministry serves families by creating opportunities to encounter Jesus through the sacraments, Scripture, witness, service, and prayer.  We encourage families to participate more fully in the parish community as we support the domestic church in the home.
