We are excited to announce a new ministry for young families of the parish beginning Monday, September 23rd at 10:30 am! Parents and their children, newborn to age three, are invited to meet in the Extended Day room at Saint Bernadette Catholic Academy for weekly fellowship during the 2013-2014 school year. Group play, song and snack time as well as a semi-structured activity for older toddlers will be facilitated on Mondays from 10:30 – 11:30 am.
While supervising their children, adults will enjoy conversation, peer support and the opportunity to meet other young families in the parish. A $20 donation is requested from each participating family to cover the cost of supplies for activities for the year, and families will be asked to take turns bringing snacks for the group. We are still looking for an additional volunteer to co-facilitate the group, and are also soliciting donations of new and gently used toys appropriate for age 0-3 to enhance what is currently available in the room.
Please contact Rebekah Woolley to indicate interest, for more information or with any questions at 708-359-4998.
