at St Francis Kids Club, our vision is of families as little
churches
in the vibrant parish of St Marys sharing in the mission of the
universal church.
St Francis Kids Club was set up in 1991 by parents of preschool
kids with the encouragement of Fr John-Paul Tan. The current Priest
Adviser is Fr Martin Low. The Club is named after St Francis, the
Little Poor man of Assisi, a giant among saints, gentle and joyful,
the happiest of saints!
Aim & Membership
The Club aims to assist parents in their challenging role of
helping their children to be faithful followers of Jesus and active
members of His Church.
Parental Involvement in a childs faith education has been
recognised by the Church as essential. The Church sees parents as
the first and best educators. Often children experience Gods care
and love for them through the lives and actions of their parents.
The clubs role is therefore supplementary and it is the parents
who run the programme. Although it is not compulsory, parents are
encouraged to be involved, with at least one parent attending the
sessions with the child on a regular basis.
Membership is open to families with preschool kids. We hope that in
the process of caring, sharing and supporting one another in the
formation of your childrens faith, you will experience the loving
community spirit of Gods big family. Sessions are held either on
Saturdays from 4pm to 5pm or Sundays from 10.10am to 11.10am
Club Set-Up
The club directly assists parents through
The Family Assisting Team, comprising Saturday and Sunday Group
Coordinators with help from small group Anchors. Their main role is
to assist families on a regular basis during session time,
and
The Family Resource Centre, comprising a committee with help from
ad hoc members. Their main role is to provide resources e.g.
library materials; to organise talks, workshops, big group
events
