  1. English Faith Formation Ministry:

    • We invite everyone to participate in fun and meaningful activities at home during Lent. The resource material we have chosen is by Illustrated Ministry which consists of a series of weekly activities starting on Ash Wednesday until Easter. The theme for this Lenten season is Reflections on the Heart. Through exploring Gospel passages about treasures and matters of the heart, families will reflect on what kind of treasure matters to us, why we store treasures, and the power these treasures have in our lives. Each weekly session will have a scripture, reflection, discussion questions, activity, colouring page, and prayer.

    • The material will be emailed to each family. Those who need paper copies can contact Yvonne or Rev. Maria at info@stechurch.com
