Children are ALWAYS welcome at Saint Mary’s. At this interim time, we treasure the young people we have in our church community we eagerly await the new direction of our coming Rector and the promise of new programs to serve children and their families. Saint Mary’s is committed to helping meet the needs of youth and families on Cape Cod.
We continue to hold on to our treasured traditions of the Best Easter Egg Hunt on Cape Cod, a beautiful Christmas Pageant and a Float in the annual Barnstable West Barnstable 4th of July Parade. In the past we offered Sunday School and Youth Group programing. Like many churches, the pandemic adversely affected our ability to offer in person formation for youth and we determined adding to their over-load of screen time and zoom schooling was not the direction we wished to go with our programing. We have used the beautiful Montessori based Godly Play Curriculum with our youngest children and were always looking for ways to adapt and meet the older children where they are. As we await the direction of new leadership we say WELCOME to all young people and encourage their full participation in our parish life.
