Announcements & Upcoming Events

We are excited to announce the dates for Forming Disciples and Faith Explorers for the summer of 2025! We cannot wait to be with the children again for a summer full of games, fun, prayer, learning about the beauty of creation and our Catholic Faith, and, most importantly, growing in love for God and one another.

All men ages 18 and over are encouraged to join the new council. Please email redbankoratorykofc@gmail.com for information.
