Grades 1-8 Parent and Youth Sessions
​2020-2021

Each grade (1-8) will participate in two Parent and Youth Sessions at church throughout the year. Please note the information below for each Parent and Youth Session (PaY).

This year, to provide for adequate social distancing and time for you and your child to share faith together we would ask that you please make a reservation. For most of the PaY Sessions you can choose a 1 hour and 15 minute time slot anytime between 3:30-6:45 pm for you and your child to go through the self-guided stations.  IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SIGN UP FOR A TIME AND ATTEND ONLY DURING THAT TIME PERIOD to allow for social distancing and safety for everyone attending the Parent and Youth Session.

There are a few large group sessions for which you do not need to pre-register, they are indicated below.

It is also imperative that you attend with your child; there is no one available to take your child through these stations and if you drop off your child, we will call you to come back and pick him/her up.

Please choose your parish, then click on the date of the PaY Session to sign up for a time for the Parent and Youth Session.
