Saint Josephine Bakhita Parish is excited to offer a new opportunity for parents of children age birth to five, in our community. Nurturing Seedlings is designed to provide parents the support, encouragement and skills needed to nurture the spiritual life of their young children. The ministry also aims to build community among parents who are in the midst of raising babies, toddlers and preschoolers.

Current research has found strong connections between spirituality and emotional well-being in children. Children who are solidly grounded in an affirming faith build up resiliency and are more likely to respond effectively when challenged by stressors. Children who are raised with a closeness to Jesus and grow up within a parish family feel more secure in their identity as a child of God. They will develop a spiritual compass for decision making.

Our Winter Session has concluded and we are busy planning for our Fall offering. Dates will be published soon.
Babysitting will be provided. There is no charge to participate.

Please let us know if you would like to participate in the Fall Session by emailing Ken & Lori Gosselin, Nurturing Seedlings Ministry Coordinators.
