CURRICULUM
Our Child Ministry Program uses Finding God: Our Response to God’s Gifts curriculum from Loyola Press (www.loyolapress.com).
In class, students will study a chapter from the workbook which we send home. The final page of each lesson has a review, suggestions on activities to live what they learn and a closing prayer. We ask parents to review this at home and then students should complete and submit an online review after each lesson.
MASS ATTENDANCE
Regular Sunday Mass attendance is an essential part of being Catholic and thus is expected of our Child Ministry families. Parish Mass Times are:
St Eugene: Sat 4:30 pm; Sun 8:30 & 11:00 am
St Monica: Sat 5:00 pm; Sun 8:00 & 10:15 am
SAFEGUARDING ALL GOD'S FAMILY
St. Eugene and St. Monica Parishes are committed to providing a safe environment for all. In compliance with the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, all volunteers over the age of 18 MUST attend a (free, one-time) Safe Environment Education Session, pass a criminal background check and read and sign the Code of Ethical Standards for Church Leaders. In addition, it is our goal to have ALL parents attend this class to increase awareness and safety. This would also qualify parents to chaperone field trips, work on service projects or assist in classrooms. To register for a class, please go to www.archmil.org/offices/safeguarding.htm.
