Parent LIFE
is a ministry of parents who recognize the challenges facing families today and take seriously their rights and responsibilities of being the first role models, teachers and active witnesses of an authentically rich and joyful Catholic life within the family and the world.
We believe there is no better way to love and serve our teens then by being spiritually sound, educated and informed, active parents.
This ministry seeks to come along side mothers and fathers, building a stronger foundation and fortress of faith for parents, teens and their families.
Parent LIFE
Crock Pot Sunday’s
following the
LIFE Teen Mass ~ 6:30pm to 8:30pm
We gather to share a meal, “potluck” style and fellowship. We “gather” in the Community Center after the LIFE Teen Mass
Relevant topics or Church teachings are presented and/or discussed. We plan and host teen-family events.
We are here to help each other grow in knowledge of the Holy Trinity,to grow in our relationship with our spouse and to strengthen the faith of our families and community by learning and serving with each other.
We support our teens and the teens in our parish family by serving in certain roles. It is necessary and vital for each parent to do their part for the good of the entire body of Christ.
PARENT Life Support
1. Food for LIFE Help organize and
provide food for the teens before LIFE Nights and clean up after. Depending on
volunteers, could be minimal commitment of time. 2 to 3 hours every couple of weeks.
2. LIFE Guards Help patrol the facility
during EDGE and LIFE Nights and other events ensuring the safety of teens and
property. Depending on number of volunteers commitment could be 2 to 3 hours every two to four weeks.
3. Special Events Help with planning and set up for large special events, specifically the Father Daughter & Mother Son Dance, the annual Summer Fair Youth Booth, our summer activities. Commitment varies. You can be as involved as much or as little as you want, from planning all the way through executing.
4. Core Affirmation/Prayer Support Help cover the youth office staff, LIFE Teen Band and core team members in prayer. Affirm, appreciate and encourage them through cards and other acts. Commitment would vary based on frequency of events and specific prayer pledge.
5. Childcare Help to provide quality
childcare for core team members with young children, during LIFE Nights and planning meetings, etc. Commitment at this time would be minimal.
