Partnering with Parents

Formation for adolescence and beyond.

Raising kids in today’s world takes a village, and a lot of faith. Our mission as a Lansing Catholic community is to form students spiritually, intellectually, and socially into faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, but we know that formation happens most effectively when school and home work together.

Join us for Partnering with Parents, a free lecture series designed to help parents navigate the trends and challenges of modern adolescence. Let’s explore how we can equip our children with the tools they need to thrive, both now and in the future.
