This ministry provides age-appropriate peer support groups for children enduring profound loss experiences from death, divorce or separation. Diocesan trained facilitator guarantee confidentiality and provide a secure, loving environment in which children begin the healing process toward acceptance. Rainbows is open to all children of our parish community, preschool through grade 8. The Sunday Scriptures and daily life experiences are the focus of discussions. Groups meet weekly during Lent and continue periodically through the year.
Membership is open to all interested parishioners.
Volunteers are needed to serve as group facilitator and hosts. It is an opportunity for young families with three to five year olds to enjoy Mass without distraction. The preschool is a self-sustaining network of people who have young children. The great advantage of this ministry is the fact that it is run by the families who enroll their children in the program. You have an opportunity to build long-lasting friendships with people who have children the same age as your own.
