The birth of the Christ Child brings joy to our lives this Christmas Season. However, as the season ends, we get caught up in our everyday activities and forget the true Spirit of Christmas. The Christmas Spirit is meant to be experienced throughout the year. The love, joy and peace that Jesus brought into the world are always present. Even if we have been away from the Church, God is continually inviting us to dwell in his love and presence. Have you and your family been "away" from the Catholic Church? Is your family trying to find its way back? Do you have children who haven’t received any religious education and, consequently, have missed receiving the sacraments? If so—then Children’s Ministry of Initiation (CMI) can help. CMI encourages you to call and see how you and your children can experience a journey back to God and the faith community of the Church. New classes will begin in the fall of 2023 but now would be a great time to make a new connection with the Catholic Church.
