Kindle and Ignite Bonfire Gatherings
-
Our main sessions for both Kindle and Ignite (called Bonfire gatherings) meet on Sunday afternoons, 4-6 pm in the School Cafeteria. Kindle meets the 2nd Sunday, Ignite meets the 3rd Sunday, and Kindle and Ignite families (kids and parents!) come together on the 4th Sunday to learn together. (See the dates in the graphic.)
Both Kindle and Ignite this year are about our family history! How did we get to where we are? What's our family story?
Whether you're at Kindle or Ignite, you can expect crazy games and activities, engagement with the Bible, time for songs and prayer, and more! This is NOT a classroom experience!
All sessions are following the same monthly theme. Follow the map to see the journey we will take together!

Kindle and Ignite Fireplace Gatherings
-
In between the Bonfire gatherings described above, children can participate in Fireplace gatherings on one Thursday afternoon a month.
These gatherings are more informal and provide time for community and fellowship, while continuing to grow in faith together.
Fireplace gatherings will meet in the St. Anthony Room from 2:30-5:00 pm. All children from the parish are welcome, so if your school doesn't dismiss until later, that's ok! Just come when you can!
