Prayer 
Lord Jesus, thank you for inviting us to be part of your story-the story of your love for us, for all people, and for all your creatures.
Help us to live our faith each day with love, generosity and joy, so that we can BE that story for others, and help others to know and love you.
We ask this, Jesus, in your name. Amen

Early Family Life at St. John Vianney Parish
How can we support families so they may be closer to Jesus, to each other and to the community?
We invite you to join us for Early Family Life at St. John Vianney Parish. This is a new program that will connect you with like minded parents in a welcoming and supportive environment and deepen your relationship with your child. It will also offer you the best in child development and how to teach our Faith to your little one!
We warmly welcome families with children ages 0-7. The sessions facilitate parent-child interaction, parent discussion and children’s learning time. The sessions will begin on Saturday, October 13 at 10:00 a.m and continue weekly through November 17, 2018. Each 2-hour session consists of a parent and child interaction time followed by a parent discussion time, during which the children will be led by trained leaders.
We are excited to bring this opportunity to our parish and hope that you will join us! To register or for more information, please contact Steph Maher at [email protected].
"What's been so beautiful is that the children actually teach and help the parents discover their own sense of faith in God."
