Would you like to help out with our children's programs?
Faith Explorers
Faith Explorers is our summer activity program for children from 1st to 8th grade. This program helps children connect a love for faith, creation, and science through great experiences of prayer, games, activities, and trips. It runs for four weeks each summer from 9am to 12pm (Monday to Friday), except on field trip days. Field trip days typically run longer. High school students are invited to volunteer. Adults are also invited to volunteer or can apply to work for the program. For more information, please contact Br. Daniel at dbower@redbankoratory.net. Faith Explorers for the summer of 2023 is from July 10 to August 4.
Scholastic Explorers
Scholastic Explorers is our after-school program for children from 1st to 12th grade. This program runs during the school year and is open every day that the children have school from 3:15 to 5:15pm. Each day includes a time of games for the kids to unwind from the school day, a time of prayer and learning about the Faith, and a time of working on homework or improving their academic skills with the assistance of the Brothers of the Oratory and volunteers and tutors. If you are interested in volunteering or working for Scholastic Explorers, please contact Br. Daniel at dbower@redbankoratory.net.
