The transmission of the faith to our children is one of our highest priorities at Our Lady of Light Family of Parishes. Our keystone children's program, Awaken, serves our pre-K through grade 5 children, including those with special needs. Children and parents alike find their faith enriched and community deepened by participating and serving in the Awaken program. Sacramental preparation for Baptism, First Reconciliation and First Communion are included in our Awaken program.

HomeschoolWhile we encourage families to take advantage of the community and formation experienced in the classroom setting, we are pleased to also offer a homeschool option for students in grades 1–5.
Families who choose this option will receive the necessary books and support materials to work at home at their own pace. The homeschool program will also include quarterly in-person gatherings for all enrolled children, providing opportunities for connection and community. |

Summer ProgramsVacation Bible Camp is a week-long summer program for children from preschool through rising 5th grade. Each year, we follow a fun and engaging theme that helps connect our faith to everyday life. The program includes dinner, as well as an optional adult session for parents focused on marriage and parenting.
Totus Tuus, Latin for “Totally Yours” is a week-long summer program for rising 1st through 6th graders that combines Catholic faith formation with fun and fellowship. A team of college-age students and seminarians comes to the parish to lead this dynamic and engaging experience. Works of Mercy Family Days are Monday morning sessions held throughout June and July. Each gathering focuses on one of the Corporal Works of Mercy, explored through interactive activities, play, and prayer, offering families a meaningful way to live out their faith together. |
