"How precious is the family as the privileged place
for transmitting the faith"
- Pope Francis
The Young Families Ministry at St. Francis of Assisi is dedicated to supporting families with young children to grow in their relationship with each other, with the Catholic Church and with our Savior, Jesus Christ. We hope to build a community of parents who are sharing similar joys and challenges that parenthood brings as well as give the children a community to build friendships.
We meet once a month for dinner and an event. See our Calendar of Events below!
Families with young children are welcome to join us every month or as often as family life allows.
