Catholic Story Hour
Catholic Story Hour is a 1 hour session for young children and their caregiver. We meet from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Fridays in the Parish Center . The hour includes a ½ hour of play, coloring and craft; and a ½ hour of circle time with singing, stories and prayer. Our mission is to introduce God and the Catholic Faith to young children at the simplest level, and in turn provide the parents with a starting point in developing their own faith, and the faith life of their families.
Catholic Story Hour For young children (ages 1-5yrs) and their caregiver. Join us to learn about our faith through story time, singing, coloring, and more!
