Our Mission
We serve the CTK community by providing a space focused on young parishioners and their parents. We make connections and build fellowship, strengthening the domestic church to support an even more vibrant parish.
Saints Louis and Zelie Martin, patron saints of parenting and the Young Families Ministry, pray for us!
Upcoming Events
Summer Sandwich Making Service Project:
Tuesday, July 15th 5:30-7pm, CTK Cafeteria
Please join our Young Families Ministry as we make 1000 ham and cheese sandwiches for the Shrine’s downtown ministry. We will work together with you little ones to make the sandwiches and get to know other families! Kids are strongly encouraged to attend. Ideally, the entire family would participate, so please don’t hesitate to bring even your youngest kids! There will be many of us there with our entire families. A beautiful way to expose our kiddos to acts of service.
We will also be accepting donations of the following for the Shrine’s Community Market wish list:
Canned goods: Fruit, Chicken, Spam, Tuna, Vienna Sausage, Baked Beans, Spinach, Glory Collard Greens, Spaghetti sauce
Pantry items: cooking oil (small bottles), sugar (small bags), mayonnaise, salt & pepper, pancake mix, syrup, folgers coffee & decaf coffee, bbq sauce, jam/jelly, vinegar, mustard, hot sauce, egg noodles
