Pray and Play Next Meeting—This Tuesday, August 7th ~ 10:00a.m.
Fr. DeMaria Activity Center Pray & Play is a faith based group that allows children of all ages to play and learn cooperatively while keeping God in the center of the group. The goal is to have at least one of the following per month: a guest speaker, field trip, or a holiday party. Each week the children learn about service to those around them as well as learn about a moral, virtue or biblical concept and have an activity to reinforce it. The group is totally open to all care givers (who will stay during the whole meeting time and interact with children) and children of all ages. We meet on Tuesdays, beginning August 7th, in the St. Mark Fr. DeMaria Activity Center @ St. Mark Catholic Church in Gonzales, Louisiana from 10am-1pm. Call Rebecca @ (225)252-6567 if you have any questions.
