    • Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA)

      The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, better known as RCIA, is a program for adults to be received into the Catholic Church through the Sacraments of Initiations. We also include with our RCIA program the opportunity for adult Catholics to prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. The program begins with an inquiry phase that allows one to learn more about the faith before discerning whether to move forward with receiving the sacraments. The group gathers weekly in the Julie Room.

    • STM Young Families

      Playground Gathering
      Families with young children are invited to gather at the church playground to meet one another and enjoy some coffee and donuts. Second Sunday of the month at 11:15 am.


      Little Ways Playgroup
      Inspired by the meditations of Saint Thérèse de Lisieux, Little Ways seeks to bring together mothers and their children in a community of faith formation and encouragement. In spite of the many competing demands on our time, Saint Thérèse reminds us that often the ways in which we can best serve the Lord are those which seem the most small. This group seeks to bring together mothers who are serving the Lord in what is perhaps our lives’ most important ministry, that of raising our children. We meet on the first Friday of each month from 9:00 am in the church nursery. To RSVP, email Megan Schellman at [email protected].
