Children's Ministry volunteers: Please Read: The Diocese of San Jose has added another requirement for volunteers that work with children; a class given by the diocese is required for all volunteers. The different parishes in the San Jose Diocese will hold this class at different times and you can attend any one of them for this requirement. Please see Gary Herbst for the list of dates and locations for this class.
MSJC Ministry Schedule: Below is the Ministry Schedule for the following weeks:
|
Children's Ministry: MSJC offers our children a time to learn about the Lord under our Children's Ministry for Toddlers (ages 6 mos to 4 years) and School Age Children (5 yrs to 12 yrs). The toddlers will be in the Parish Nursery Room, while the School Age Children will be next door to them in the Conference Room. For info on this ministry, please pick up a Parent info sheet and Conduct Guidelines in the Children Ministry rooms. If you have any questions or comments, please call our Children's Ministry coordinator, Annie Esget. We use the Catholic Kids Net program for School Age children. MSJC has both parent volunteers and baby sitters for the Toddler Ministry - parents sign up as toddler assistants to help out baby sitters when needed. The School Age Ministry has parent volunteers. All Children Ministry volunteers must be fingerprinted due to a requirement of the Diocese of San Jose and a new requirement is that a diocesan class is also required. Please contact Colleen Murphy at Holy Family (408-265-3181) to set up an appointment to do that.
Mark your calendars: MSJC will have its annual Day of Recollection at the Shrine of St. Joseph in Santa Cruz on Sat. April 30 from 9 AM to 2 PM. All are invited to attend, it is a great location and a very prayerful place. The National Catholic Family Conference is scheduled for July 23 and 24 at Anaheim. There will be great speakers and a lot of Catholics plus they have children's ministry.
