VBS: Diving into God’s love

Take kids deep at our Totally Catholic VBS, Scuba: Diving into God’s Love! Participants will go on an amazing undersea adventure where they’ll experience the ever-flowing, never-ending love of God through Sacred Scripture, the Saints, and the teachings of the Catholic Church. Participant registration is open now to all kids who will be in pre-K – 5th grade in the 2024-2025 school year.

We also have plenty of volunteer opportunities for adults, high schoolers, and middle schoolers. VBS is a fun way to get service hours for school, next year’s Confirmation program, or St. Joseph School parent volunteer hours.

Both participants and volunteers can sign up below:

FIRST Sacraments

First Sacraments include First Reconciliation and First Communion. These Sacraments are generally received starting in 2nd Grade.

Children desiring to prepare for the First Sacraments must meet the following requirements to register:

-Received the Sacrament of Baptism
-Be at least 7 years old
-Completed the prior year of Catholic religious education at a parish or Catholic school
-Attend Mass with their family every Sunday & Holy Day of Obligation

Parents are the primary educators of faith to their children and our expectation is that you take an active and supportive role in preparing your son or daughter for this Sacrament.

For additional details about this program or the requirements, please email Jennifer Carney.
