Being parents of adolescents is...hard. Really hard sometimes.
Led by CYO and JCYO parents, the J/CYO Parent Group meets bimonthly and aims to connect and build community with parents while sharing resources on how to better relate to, communicate with, and show charity to your teenagers as they go through this formative stage.
Parents are invited to drop students off for J/CYO Nights, grab dinner from the J/CYO Night, then walk over to Sacred Heart Hall for the evening's offering. The evening will end at 8 PM.
This group is open to parents of students in J/CYO: mothers and fathers, single or married, Catholic and non-Catholic parents.
Every measure currently in place has been approved by church and archdiocesan leadership and allows us to meet back in person. Without proper following of protocol, we will not be able to meet! Please be sure that you are stressing the importance of proper social distancing and personal hygiene--both during CYO and outside of church activities--to your children to allow us to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
