St. Mary's Home School Co-op

Home School Co-op

First Friday of Each Month

All families are welcome to join our homeschool co-op for 8AM Mass, a brief adoration, and an activity on the first Friday of each month! This ministry is particularly geared toward families who are homeschooling as it takes place during normal working hours. While the Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament act as the foundation of each session, these are followed by various activities that our children will experience together. Examples include: Rosary making, a field trip to a pumpkin patch, chemistry demonstrations, and learning traditional Christmas carols. Families from all parishes are welcome to join us!
