“Children are not only the future of the Church; they are also the present. Let us encourage their participation in the life of the Church from an early age.” – Pope Francis

Vision and Mission:

Vision and Mission:

To support and engage families with babies and children younger than school age in the church community, fostering a sense of belonging and creating a supportive network for young families active in our faith.


All families with at least one baby or a child younger than school age (<6) are welcome.


Activities:

• Weekly Playground Meet-Up (Seasonal)
Tuesdays at 10:00 AM at Black Hill Regional Park (Shelter A)
A relaxed, come-as-you-are gathering for parents and little ones. Bring snacks, strollers, and siblings—there’s space for everyone to connect and play.

• Monthly Sunday Fellowship (Weather Permitting)
Third Sunday of the month at 11:30 AM, outside Mother Seton Parish
Join us between the 10:45 AM and 12:30 PM Masses for light snacks, outdoor play, and time to build friendships with other young families.

• First Saturday Rosary + Playground
First Saturdays at 10:30 AM, beginning at Mother Seton
We gather to pray a simple Rosary together, then head to the Soccerplex playground for snacks and playtime. A gentle way to introduce prayer and community to little ones.

• Family-Friendly Mass
We know that bringing babies and toddlers to Mass can be challenging! To support you, we offer coloring pages in the Narthex during special liturgies like Holy Days of Obligation and Holy Week.

• Communication
Email us to join our listserv and receive event reminders, parenting resources, and updates from the ministry.

• Childcare at Parish Events
We help facilitate childcare at select parish events and retreats using VIRTUS-trained volunteers. Contact us to request support for your next event.
