We are sincerely grateful to everyone who participated in CTK's Service Week 2021! Pictured above are just a few of the 118 "soap sacks" that were assembled on Saturday, October 23rd. These will be given to the homeless and to others in need through Grassroot Givers in Albany. Our parish definitely has a spirit of service!
Thank you to everyone who helped show God's love to others!

All Saints Day video for young children
Soon, we will be celebrating a "triduum" of sorts in the Catholic Church: Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. What exactly is All Saints Day? This short video explains it!
October saints
Check out the October saints word search from Real Life at Home, and see if you can find the words in bold!
Daily microchallenge
Busted Halo's website offers a different reflection for each day (called a "microchallenge"). They also have a wonderful video collection relating to a variety of Catholic topics. Check out their site here.
Faith Formation curated playlist
A new trend in Catholic Church religious education is "curated Faith Formation playlists." To see an example, click here. The concept is similar to a music playlist that you might create on a popular video or audio app ~ but Faith Formation playlists include lots of wonderful faith inspiration! Stay tuned for a special curated playlist coming soon for Faith Formation here at CTK!
