SPECIAL RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (SPRED):
Sessions in religious formation, as well as celebrations for significant feasts, and opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and retreats, are held for developmentally challenged adults each Saturday. In addition to the weekly session, there is a Mass on the first Saturday of the month for participants and their families, followed by a breakfast at the Knights of Columbus hall.

YOUTH MINISTRY:
Provides spiritual, social and recreational activities for all young parishioners in grades nine through twelve. Events are structured to give the youth an opportunity to maintain and build their relationship with God, through their relationship with their parish, community and each other. A youth Mass is scheduled for the first Sunday of the month at 5:00 pm, with a social gathering following Mass. Visit the DCYM blog for an always updated calendar, news, and thoughts.

BUILDING COMMUNITY (EVANGELIZATION OUTREACH):
An open forum designed to provide an opportunity for parishioners to discuss issues of interest relating to our faith, our Church and our parish. The forum provides an occasion to view our Church and parish through the perspective of the Second Vatican Council. We examine how we see ourselves as evangelizers, and as “disciples” in a secular world. We study scripture in preparation for our Sunday worship and share with other religions in prayer and contemplative outreach. Friends from other faith backgrounds are also welcome. We meet at the Seton Center on Wednesday evenings from 7:15 until 8:45, September through June.
