YOUTH FORMATION | Anne Lloyd | email

Our Lady of the Pines welcomes everyone! and for middle school and high school aged youth, we have many opportunities for them to be involved in the parish as well as to get to know their peers and grow in their faith. Building positive relationships at this age can be a comfort but also a challenge and if we can facilitate this process through the components of a balanced, comprehensive youth ministry program, then we hope our goal of enriching the faith of the youth of the parish as they grow in a deeper relationship with Christ and the Church will become a reality. more

CHILDRENS LITURGY

Liturgy of the Word With Children is first and foremost a worship experience. This is a concerned and sensitive way to enable children to participate in the formal worship experience of the community. The celebrations of these liturgies are intended to form children in the liturgical language of the church, to nourish and guide their spiritual growth, and to immerse them in the Word in ways that are understandable to them. Our Lady of the Pines celebrates Liturgy of the Word with Children (ages 4-7 or until 1st Communion) on the 2nd Sunday of the month at all Masses. We encourage the parents of those who attend Liturgy of the Word With Children to read the Scriptures for the upcoming Sunday and talk with their children about what the Scriptures mean to them, their family and what is God trying to tell us today.

ELEMENTARY FAITH FORMATION | Vickie Welsh | email
