St. Edward Children's Ministry recognizes the value and importance of family life in the faith journey of a child.  The events and spiritual experiences we offer aim to support family life, serve the children as they draw closer to the Lord. 

We offer a variety of opportunities for our children since their spiritual needs are diverse and sometimes, unique.  Below you will find information on what we offer!

Children's Ministry thrives when parents and other adult parishioners take ownership of this ministry and are willing to walk with the children and their families. Relational ministry and accompaniment are at the heart of this ministry.  Prayerfully consider getting involved with us!

In order to make this happen, we need a team!
Interested in serving in this capacity?

Adults are encouraged to join the team. We have a great need for crew leaders!

Teens are encouraged to sign up to serve as station assistants or crew assistants. Teens needing to keep track of service hours for school are asked to bring with them a tracker for the coordinator to sign every day they serve.

Adults and Teens who sign up to be on team and to serve are asked to attend at least two work days to help prepare for this awesome week. The work days are:

Saturday, June 3 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm (Gym)
Sunday, June 4 from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm (Gym)
Saturday, June 10 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm (Gym)

Additionally, all volunteers are asked to attend the final work day:
Sunday, June 11 from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm (Parish Life Center)

One aspect that makes Vacation Bible School such a fruitful and exciting event for our children is the decorations and set up we are able to build for our sing and play and the Bible Adventures section, to highlight just a couple of stations.

Faith Formation
The children of our parish have two options to choose from when it comes to their formation. Sunday's option is based on a more traditional setting of weekly gatherings in a classroom and Wednesday's option is based on a flex schedule and family gatherings. Please check out our Family Faith Formation page for all the details and to register for your preferred option.
