GIFT Family Gatherings

We are joyful to share faith with your family and grow in our love of God with your children and your whole family at Prince of Peace Catholic Parish. 

GIFT Family Gatherings are an integral part of Family Faith Formation at Prince of Peace Catholic Parish.  Families are invited to share a community meal and prayer, formation and and activities for all ages. 

Families with chilren who attend GIFT must be registered for weekly Faith Formation classes.Please read below for more information and to sign-up for bi-monthly sessions. 

Family Faith Formation parents and parish members are needed to serve on our GIFT Family Gathering Planning Team; our next Team meeting to plan the activities for our December session is Monday, November 19 at 10:30am .   Please email DRE@PrinceofPeaceCatholic.Church to join our Team and help plan the sessions. 

Families will explore the miracle of God's ultimate GIFT of Jesus to the whole at Christmas, God's GIFT of Jesus in the Eucharist, and the promise of Jesus' saving life to come; please join us for our shared family meal, storytelling, the Holy Sacrament of Jesus in the Eucharist, and a Christmas blessing prayer.  

PLEASE BRING YOUR FAMILY CHRISTMAS CRECHE BABY JESUS FIGURE!  We will use it carefully during our session, and send it home with you after GIFT.  

Reminder!! Each GIFT session has a Family Christian Service Project.  Please bring a new, unwrapped toy that each child registered for Family Faith Formation would enjoy (e.g. Nathan age 10 enjoys legos; Dylan age 7 enjoys hatchimals.)  This should be a family project, students should do extra chores, return pop bottles, or give up allowance to share a Christmas gift with one of our Christmas 2018 Parish Christian Service organizations.  

Faith Formation Families who have already registered their students for Weekly Sunday or Tuesday Faith Formation classes (register for weekly classes here) must RSVP below for the GIFT sessions they plan to attend.  Families may choose to attend 3 of 4 of the sessions offered but are welcome and encouraged to attend all 4 sessions.
