“Let the Children Come to Me…”
The Molly Ministry invites young children, ages five and under, and their families to join us at future events. The mission of the Molly Ministry is to help support and welcome the littlest members of our parish family by planning activities and events especially for their age group. In the process, the Molly Ministry hopes to nurture their natural curiosity and sense of wonder. We hope the little ones will discover God’s love for them and all creation during these years of growth and exploration.
New members are always welcome to join us at monthly meetings to offer input and assistance. Children are always welcome to attend. If you are unable to attend the meetings, consider sharing your ideas by emailing us at mollyministry@wi.rr.com . For more information on the Molly Ministry you may also call the Christian Formation office at 691-9170. Below is a list of our upcoming events.
Molly Ministry Survey Thanks for your Input!
A MOTHER'S PRAYER TO THE BLESSED MOTHER
Dear Blessed Mother Mary, you knew the importance of being prayerful and also of being attentive to one's family. Please teach me how to do both well. Please deepen my relationship with your son, Jesus. Because my vocation of motherhood keeps me very involved with the task at hand, please give me reminders as I go about my day to raise my heart and mind to God often, asking for help and grace, as well as offering deep gratitude. Please keep my family under your powerful protection. Amen.
If you would like to help plan events like “O Come Little Children” and “Fish Fun and Friends”, help with Baptism prep classes and celebrations, or have any other ideas to share on how we can build community and welcome families with young children, please join us June 5th at 9:30. (we usually meet once a month). The meetings are in the childcare room so children are welcome to come and play. If this time does not work for you, but you would like to be involved send an email with ideas, thoughts, and questions to mollyministry@wi.rr.com. We really want to provide programs and plan activities that will be valuable and meaningful for you, your family, and others with young children. We appreciate your input!
