Children and Parents
The parish has a number of programs specifically designed for families. The Christian Formation Program (CFP) provides religious learning from mid-nursery to 10th grade, as well as adult and parent programs. Volunteers supervise infants to three-year-olds in the Cherub Nursery. There is also a youth ministry program and programs for adults and children who have not been baptised. A weekly study group allows church mothers to study books together, pray, and build community.

Famous quotes containing the words children and, children and/or parents:
“The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the revealed things belong to us and to our children forever, to observe all the words of this law.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 29:29.
“Establishing limits, structure, rules, and expectations takes self-confidence on the part of parents. Parents need to recognize that they are the legitimate authority figures in their households and feel secure in that role.”
—Karen Levine (20th century)
