  • Questions?

    • How are children placed in groups?
      • We will have 4 groups of children rotating among the activity stations:

        • Children entering Kindergarten
        • Older preschoolers (4 and 5 year olds)
        • Younger preschoolers (3 and 4 year olds) who can participate independently of parents
        • Children 3 and younger who want to participate along with mom or dad
    • What will the schedule be?
      • Each session will begin in the Saint Anthony Room with opening prayer and a short lesson.
        Then groups will be dismissed to rotate among the following activity stations:
        • Story / lesson and play time in the Nursery
        • Craft and play doh in the Saint Raphael Room
        • Music and games in the Saint Anthony Room
        • "Field Trip" to the Adoration Chapel, Church, or Mary Garden (Different location each day)
        All groups will return to the Saint Anthony Room for dismissal.

        The Saint Michael Room will be available for moms with babies and toddlers and/or children who need a calm break from the group activities.

        In addition to the scheduled sessions, we'll be having a Parish Potluck Dinner on Wednesday for families and parishioners of all ages!
    • Is my child old enough to participate?
      • The program is designed for children ages 3-5. We understand that some children are more ready than others for participating in these types of activities. If your child is not yet fully toilet trained or has anxiety about separating from you, please consider participating along with him or her. Please contact Katie Ryzenga at kryzenga@stmatthew.net or 614-203-6103 to discuss any special circumstances or concerns. 
    • Do you provide food?
      • We will be providing a small snack at each session.
        Please make sure that you inform our staff of any food allergies or restrictions. 

    • How much does it cost?
      • We want to make this week available to anyone who wants to attend. We are asking for $10 per child/teen, but if that would prevent your child from attending, please let us know! Every problem has a solution.

 
As a community of believers who know, love, and serve Jesus Christ, we celebrate the sacramental life of the Church, proclaim the saving message of Christ, and share the love of the Lord, especially with the least, the poor, and the suffering.
