Saint Pascal and Saint Robert Bellarmine invite all young adults (age 21 to 40) to join us for Theology on Tap! These conversations about faith over beer and wine are designed specifically to help young people grow in their faith and see God in new ways.
Saint Robert's will be hosting "Theology on Tap" on Friday, July 20 at 6:00 PM in the Gym. The topic will be "Emotion Coaching - The Pathway to Raisiing Resilient Children" presented by Dr. Michael McNulty. In this workshop, Dr. Michel McNulty, founder of the Chicago Relationship Center and a Master Trainer for the Gottman Institue, will present Dr. John Gottman's research on parenting and his five step emotion- coaching technique. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect on their spiritual beliefs about parenting, how they manage their emotions, how they hope to parent, and how to use the emotion coaching technique to enhance their parenting styles.

Saint Pascal Parish Family-Centered Catechesis
Religious Education Program
Now Enrolling for the Fall
If you are looking for ways for your family to explore our Catholic faith, opportunities to share your faith with your children, chances for your family to share in engaging and creative lessons about the Church and what we believe, then join us this year in our Family Centered Catechesis. The theme of this year's session is "Jesus Christ: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow."
This program is for all families with children in Kindergarten through eighth grade. Families gather for monthly sessions either on a Monday evening or a Saturday morning and then complete lessons at home that reinforce the learning that took place at the family session.

Eucharistic Adoration - Thursdays
Each Thursday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saint Pascal hosts the place for quiet reflection - Eucharistic Adoration in Church. The purpose of Eucharistic Adoration is to give every Catholic an opportunity to spend time with our Eucharistic Lord present in the Blessed Sacrament. Everyone is welcome and invited to spend some time on Thursdays for 5 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour or more if so desired. It calms one’s soul, brings peace to one’s heart and deepens one’s relationship with the Lord. Making time with Jesus may be the gift you can give yourself.
ParishSoft - Connecting People and the Church
Our parish families now have an opportunity to update personal information on our database ParishSoft. Along with this opportunity, families will also be able to view their contributions, print tax letters (when they become available, saving the parish postage during tax season!). Families may choose to upload pictures too. All additions or changes are reviewed and approved by parish staff members.
Along with the above features, ministers (Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers of Holy Communion, Altar Servers and Ushers) can communicate the dates they are available to serve, when they will be out of town, and view their schedule or their children’s schedules.
Register today by logging on to ParishSoft by clicking on the "Parish Soft" button on the right side of this page. New parishioners can also register through ParishSoft. If you have any questions, please call the parish office at 773-725-7641.
