Children's Ministry

In addition to family faith formation and sacrament preparation, we have a number of spiritual events for the children of our parish.

Children who are between 3 years old and 10 years old (Pk3-5th grade) are able to participate in the following events to foster their personal relationship with Jesus Christ, strengthen their sense of community, and aid them as they walk the spiritual path:

• Children's Liturgy of the Word (Pk3-1st grade on 2nd and 4th Sunday at 9:30 am Mass)
• All Saints' Parade (October 2021)
• Easter Egg Hunt (April 2022)
• Vacation Bible School (Summer 2022)

"To be saints is not a privilege for the few but a vocation for everyone."
Pope Francis

We are so excited to host our annual All Saints' Parade to celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints.  Children are encouraged to dress up as their favorite saint and be part of the parade before the 5 pm Mass begins on Sunday, October 31.  

We will host a 'prep day' on Saturday, October 30th from 10 am to 12 pm in the Annex.  This gives families an opportunity to prepare banners and learn about their saints.  Materials to create the banners will be provided however families are encouraged to bring whatever items they would like to use to create their banners.  This prep day is optional and children who are unable to attend it can still join us for the parade.

Registration is now closed. However, if your child wants to participate, simply send an email to Lauren White and let her know another saint is joining the parade!

SAFE ENVIRONMENT TRAINING
Parents and legal guardians who are attending the prep day must also complete the safe environment training so that we can ensure everyone who is on campus can work together at making St. Edward a safe place for all who seek the Lord!  Please click here to access or create your account and to complete the online training.  Please contact us if you have any questions or need any help accessing your account.
