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, then walk over to Sacred Heart Hall for dinner and the evening's offering. The evening will end at 8 PM. Childcare is available for younger children; contact [email protected] for childcare.

This group is open to parents of students in J/CYO: mothers and fathers, single or married, Catholic and non-Catholic parents.

Email JCYO/CYO Mom and Parent Group Coordinator, Joanna Paszek, at [email protected] for more information.
