About Grow

At the heart of Family Discipleship is Jesus, the person of Jesus. A relationship with Jesus is best passed on through family life. Family Discipleship is a dynamic process of shared learning experiences that spill over into the family’s everyday life as they open the doors to discussion of the Catholic faith and to opportunities to encounter Jesus.

Once a month, parents and children gather at church to learn about the same topic of Faith. Through this time together as a parish, families are encouraged not only by parish staff, but by other families who are also undertaking the same task of raising their children in the Faith.

During the once a month session students in Grades preK-5 meet in classes, divided by grade level, where trained catechists present the lessons. Parents gather as a separate group where they are evangelized, catechized, encouraged, and equipped. This adult component is key to the transmission of Faith in the home. A portion of the monthly gathering also includes a time for parents and children to come together for a shared prayer experience or activity.
