Welcome!
Welcome to our Parent Nights page! This page is for parents -- as well as grandparents and caregivers -- with children of all ages.
Parenting infants, toddlers, school age children, teens and young adults is a rewarding (but challenging!) vocation. It's tough to do with a partner, and even tougher to do alone! That's the beauty of community!
The goal of our parent nights is to offer meaningful and relevant events to help you learn and grow as Christian parents or caregivers, no matter the age of your children.
Scroll down this page to learn about upcoming events or find resources from past events.

Past Parent Nights
On October 25 and 27, 2021, parents and grandparents came together to listen to Catholic speaker and musician Pat Stahr, who shared from his experience how we can raise saints in our homes by focusing on faith, love...and especially hope!
Story and song
Through story and song, Pat encouraged us and helped us reflect on the awesome task of raising Godly children and grandchildren, despite our personal weaknesses and struggles.
He shared about the beauty of marriage and a supportive spouse, the joy of family participation in the gifts of Mass and the sacraments, and the importance of a supportive faith community.
