Saint Josephine Bakhita Parish is excited to bring an experience for parents of children birth to five, to our community called Nurturing Seedlings. This opportunity is designed to help young parents receive the support, encouragement and skills to help children develop spiritually. It also will give you the chance to build community with other parents who are in the midst of raising babies, toddlers and preschoolers.
Current research has found strong connections between spirituality and emotional well-being in children. Children who are solidly grounded in an affirming faith build up resiliency and are more likely to respond effectively when challenged by stressors. Children who are raised with a closeness to Jesus and grow up within a parish family will feel secure in their identity as a child of God. They will develop a spiritual compass for decision making.
We will be launching the next cycle of this experience on September 12, 2026. You may have already received a letter in the mail about this opportunity.
No matter where you are on your own spiritual journey, even if you’re just beginning, this experience can benefit your young child and your whole family.
