Familia |
|
Familia is a national study program aimed at building up the family
through strengthening marriages and providing peer support. This
four year study uses papal encyclicals, the Catechism, and the Bible
to provide insight to our Catholic faith and practical suggestions
for incorporating the faith into our daily lives. Separate men's and
women's teams of eight or more meet twice monthly during the school
year to uncover the personal message in the teachings of the Church
as they pertain to marriage and the family. Familia provides the tools
necessary to face the challenge of raising a family in today’s society.

The Parish School of Religion (PSR) is a Sunday morning catechetical program for K-12 students. Students attend grade-specific classes which are taught by volunteer instructors. PSR is open to all parishioners, but is especially recommended for public school students.

Parish Library |
|
Church of the Resurrection library now has an excellent variety of books, videos and audiotapes. Since we use the honor system to check out and return books, only two or three volunteers are needed to maintain it. Parishioners may check out materials after all Masses and during church office hours by simply filling out the requested information on the library clipboard. The library is located downstairs in the Magdalen Room.

Vocations Committee |
|
The late Pope John Paul II commissioned each of us with the
obligation to promote vocations to the priesthood and the religious
life within our families and within our parish and to pray for the
perseverance of those who have accepted God’s call. In order to do
your part, you may:
- Become a member of the Vocations Committee, whose purpose is
to foster and support vocations to the priesthood and religious life by
planning various activities.
- Join the "365 Club." Choose one day out of the year to go to Mass
and, as your intention, offer it specifically for an increase of vocations
from our parish. (H)
- Pray a rosary once a week for vocations. (H)
- Frequently pray a "Prayer for vocations."
