Parents
Faithful Families
Cathedral families gather for fun, fellowship, and mutual support. From a summer Sunday picnic in the park to parent support groups, we are raising our families together in a community of faith and unconditional love.

Parent Brunch
Parents and guardians will gather regularly for time to grow, support, and connect with each other for parent brunches following the 10:30 am service. We will provide child-care with age-appropriate activities offered for both of these monthly gatherings. Whether you’ve been at Saint John’s for years, or are newer to our parish, these brunches are a perfect opportunity to connect with other cathedral parents.

Nurturing Ourselves to Nurture Our Children
Parents of children of all ages are invited to come together, with a focus on how we’re supporting and loving our kids through challenging times. We’ll talk about anxiety (ours and theirs), learning and social difficulties, and pandemic parenting. These brunches will be held on youth “Super Sundays;” parents of all age groups are welcome.
