Five Parish NightsSun 3:00, meal follows, Mon. 5:30 meal begins, Wed. 6:00 meal begins.
Meals are an important part of GOF. It helps us build community in our large parish. We do not charge for the meals and encourage and invite everyone to come and eat.
This year our theme is Life in Christ: Walk in The Way. Our Parish nights are opportunities to come and share faith and learn more about our rich Catholic traditions.
Parish Night format includes an opening prayer and short activity with everyone together. Then there is a break-off session by ages: adults staying with Father Tom while children are doing age-specific activities. Next we regather for family time, and end with all ages together for a short ending prayer. |

3 Expanding Horizons Fall, Winter, Spring
Interactive stations…also called learning centers.
These are hands-on centers for three levels of learning:
Adults (can be 10th graders on up,) Youth (grades 5-10,) and
Child (Kindergarten-4th grade.)
K-4th is parent and child together and Youth is highly suggested to do as parent/child.
Times: 9:00 am-9:00 p.m. over two weekends. Come the day/time that is most convenient for you. A video room is available for the children if adults wish to do both adult and youth/child centers.
The parent and child centers take about an hour to do.
There are also grade-specific learning centers during the year. Check the schedule to see when your grade is scheduled. |
