Thank you for those who joined us for VIRTUAL Whole Family Catechesis on the topic of Virtue! On Wednesday, June 3 at 6:30 pm Pat Vanderpool, Bobby Kinkela and Deacon David Pinto (before he was ordained) led a conversation on virtues, especially the cardinal and theological virtues.

On Wednesday, May 6th at 6:30 pm Pat Vanderpool and Bobby Kinkela hosted an interactive Zoom presentation. God created all things from nothing; animals, human beings, and angels are all works of creation and have distinct natures. All creation is an outpouring of God's love and has a proper purpose. We had an open discussion about what is it in our created world that reminds us of creation. If you'd like to view the playback, you can see it here: bit.ly/2LlYE0O

We talked on Facebook live about the Paschal Mystery

March 4th we covered Sacraments and Virtus boundaries. Pat Vanderpool talked about Sacraments with a focus on Penance and Eucharist. The art icon used represents all 7 sacraments in one icon. The 3-5th grade met with seminarian David Pinto. The 6th-8th grade talked about the matter and form present in each Sacrament. At the end of the night, we sat down together and brainstormed ways to stay safe and keep our boundaries as our Virtus lesson was also this night. Parents will continue to use the March guide on Sacraments including the beautiful art-icons. Also included in the guide is a bingo like chart which lists out the matter and form of each of the 7 Sacraments.
