Christus Rex

Christus Rex is for youth in grades 1-5. We gather every-other Tuesday night from 5:30 – 7:30 pm from October to May. It will start on Tuesday, October 13th. We meet in the St. James Church hall where we explore our faith in a dynamic way through games, a brief catechesis talk, a break with snacks, and activities.

Our goal with Christus Rex is threefold:

help the youth encounter Christ in a personal way, and grow closer to Him
have fun at Church
form good friendships. Friendships with volunteers, mentors, role models - people they can look up to, who will lead them closer to Christ. And friendships with other youth their age!
