Muffins After Mass - An Invitation for Young Families
We are excited to announce a new opportunity for young families within our parish! Join us on July 20 after the 9:00am Mass for Muffins after Mass as we introduce this new connection group aiming to increase connections and support for young families within our parish. Through gatherings, faith-based activities for our children, and support for those going through life’s challenges, "Families of Grace" hopes to provide a faith-based village for each of us as we aim to raise Godly children.“Rooting ourselves in our Catholic Faith”. If you are unable to attend this information session but want to know more, feel free to call the parish office at 330-533-6839.

Registration
Registration is under way for the 2025-2026 Faith Formation year. Returning families should have their registration packet. If you are new to the parish or have a child entering Kindergarten or First Grade call Marcy at the parish office for information about YFF and to request a registration packet.
First Grade is required in order to prepare for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist in second grade. It is expected that grades three through seven are completed before entering eighth grade and Confirmation preparations.
Kindergarten is not required but highly encouraged. We limit the Kindergarten class to 10 children. If you are considering registering your child for Kindergarten YFF, be sure to get your registration packet in early to ensure a spot for your child.
Catechists
Thank you to our catechists who have worked so hard to make Year 2 of YFF a success. These wonderful parishioners dedicate their time to sharing our faith with the children of our parish. As always, life sometimes brings changes to our Catechetical Team. We are looking to add a few more people to grades 3-4 and 7-8. Please take a moment to pray about joining the Catechetical Team and talk to our catechists about what being a catechist entails. You may be the person God is calling to join YFF. If you are interested in joining the YFF Catechist Team, please call Marcy at the parish office at 330-533-6839.
