Education and Youth Ministry

Our children are the future of our parish. We recognize the importance of offering education, faith formation, and fellowship​ for youth, including: 
  • Parish Religious Education Program (PREP)​
  • Children's Choir
  • Young Family Fellowship
  • Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)
  • Mother of Providence Regional Catholic School

PREP (Parish Religious Education Program)

Our PREP program is offered through an effective online curriculum for students in Grades 1-6. 

Our dedicated Director of Religious Education, Katie Haraburda, can provide guidance on effectively utilizing our curriculum and offer additional resources and support as needed. We organize gatherings for students preparing for First Reconciliation and First Communion, ensuring they receive the necessary preparation. Our regular family events serve as socialization and community-building opportunities centered around spiritual practices such as Mass, praying the Rosary, and Stations of the Cross. 

Children's Choir

Joining our children’s choir helps children grow in faith while building confidence and musical skills. Singing together teaches teamwork, encourages joyful worship, and helps children feel connected to their church community. It’s a meaningful and fun way to praise God and make new friends.

Church Mice (Ages 5 to 8)  
Voices of Faith Choir (Ages 9 to 14)  

Rehearsals are on the first and third Sundays each month in the Parish Center. New members always welcome throughout the year! Sign up or reach out to [email protected].

Young Family Fellowship

Parenthood is a journey filled with joys and challenges, and we are here to support and bring together parents who share the same values and faith. We organize 6-8 social events annually where families can meet and grow in our faith together.​ We invite all families with children (ages infant to 14*) to participate in our Young Family Fellowship at Nativity BVM. 

​​Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)

The guiding mission of Nativity BVM CYO is the participation of as many parish children as possible in athletic competition within a Christian context. Through CYO sports, children are provided with opportunities to grow in their faith through the guidance, direction and coaching by adult Christian men and women; to form friendships, learn through sports, and to deal graciously with both victory and defeat.  For more information contact [email protected].  Learn More About CYO
