All students and resident parishioners are invited to participate in activities sponsored by the Family Life Office. These activities provide opportunities for students and resident parishioners to be involved as teachers, teachers' aids and program facilitators. Family Life provides an opportunity for interaction between the students and the families of the parish. Volunteers are always needed for various activities. Come share your faith with our youth. We invite you, and welcome your participation!
