"People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, 'let the little children come to me; do not stop; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.' And he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10,13-16 

The group meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 3:00PM-4:00PM at the Notre Dame Church basement (from September to May).

All children are welcome from ages 3-11 years. Bring your children and meet new friends as they journey in faith together.

 Children's Liturgy is every Sunday for children ages 4-7. 

Coordinator: Leeanne Williams

“Remember that you are never alone, Christ is with you on your  journey every day of your lives! He has called you and chosen you to  live in the freedom of the children of God. Turn to him in prayer and in  love. Ask him to grant you the courage and strength to live in this  freedom always. Walk with him who is “the Way, the Truth and the Life”! 

St. (Pope) John Paul II

Youth Group (for Grades 6 and up) meets every Monday at 7:00PM beginning December 3rd 2018 at the Notre Dame Parish Basement. Please invite your classmates and friends for an evening of fun and faith-filled activities.

Coordinators: Marika Cameron and Caitlin Russell

Celebrating the Word is a process model for faith  sharing groups that is designed to replicate the Emmaus encounter. Most  of us can identify with the plight of those two disciples. We know their  experience. We have been there. And we need a place and a process that  will allow us, as a faith community on a regular basis, to make  connections between our life stories and the Gospel Story. As with those  two disciples, we are assured that when we come together in faith and  trust to make connections between our life stories and the Gospel Story,  we too will come to experience the presence and power of God's own  Spirit: " Were not our hearts burning within us when He opened the  scriptures to us."

The Group meets every Tuesday morning from 10:30AM-12Noon at the Church meeting room from September-June

Symbolon: The Catholic Faith Explained

We might be familiar with different aspects of the Catholic Faith. But how does it all fit together? And what difference does it make for our lives? Symbolon: The Catholic Faith Explained opens up the "big picture" of the Catholic Faith in a way that helps us know it, live it, and articulate it to others.


COME JOIN US EVERY 3rd THURSDAY OF THE MONTH AT THE PARISH MEETING ROOM FROM 7:30PM-9:00PM

"For it is in the liturgy, especially in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, that 'the work of redemption is accomplished', and it is through the liturgy especially the faithful are enabled to express in their lives and manifest to others the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church" Sacrosanctum Concilium#2 

"Catechesis is the education in the faith of children, young people and adults which includes especially the teaching of Christian doctrine imparted, generally speaking, in an organic and systematic way, with a view to initiating the hearers into the fullness of Christian life." Catechism of the Catholic Church#5 

"Christian charity truly  extends to all, without distinction of race, creed, or social condition: it  looks for neither gain nor gratitude...Just  as Christ, then, went about all the towns and villages, curing every kind of  disease and infirmity as a sign that the kingdom of God had come (cf. Matt.  9:35ff; Acts 10:38), so also the Church, through her children, is one with men  of every condition, but especially with the poor and the afflicted." Decree
(Ad Gentes) on the Mission Activity of the Church #12
