Each Month we will gather and begin with prayer and a short presentation.

This will be followed by  a 3-5 Minute teaching on the Mass (the 'Mass Minute')

There will then be group activities related to the presentation together as families or for the children and adult separately, followed by an activity designed to help families see how to integrate the teachings into their everyday lives.

The evenings will end with Pot-Luck snacks and a short social time for families to be together informally.
