Young Families Initiative

In an effort to better gather together and minister to the needs of our young families, Gesu and St. Pius Parishes are beginning an intentional effort of sacramental and social events to help bring our families together who specifically have children ages 10 and under.

This outreach is for families with children in our schools as well as those whose children may attend school elsewhere. If you are a member of either Gesu or St. Pius (or even if you aren’t) you are invited!

So far, there has been a gathering of young families to discuss how our parishes can better meet the needs of and minister to them, a Family Adoration event with a specific mention of “children are welcome, even if they might be a little noisy”, and a Family Mass before Christmas in order to prepare them for the impending celebration of the birth of Jesus.

As this Young Families Initiative continues to take shape and grow, we invite any families with children ages 10 and under to get in touch with Fr. Craig and become a part of this family life renewal of our parishes!
