Each year the parish HI-life process focuses on a special aspect of our faith. We invite parishioners of all ages to participate in our HI-life Gatherings - our intergenerational learning gatherings, which are the foundation of our life long faith formation process at Holy Infant. Our monthly gatherings are a time of fellowship, faith formation, and fun.

Sharing a Simple Meal Together
No cooking - just come and enjoy

At a typical gathering you are welcomed by greeters in the Hospitality Room and escorted to a table in the Fellowship Hall to enjoy a simple meal with fellow parishioners of all ages. At your table there may be a single adult, a family of four, a retired person, and an empty-nest couple. There may be a table blessing and a couple of questions to focus the table talk.


Whole Group Opening Experience
Introduction of the topic to be experienced

After the meal, there is often an opening prayer and an intergenerational activity to set the tone for the evening, such as a story or video segment.


Exploring the Topic Through Age-Specific Learning Activities
All ages learning about the same topic according to their stage in life:

• Adults
• Young Adults
• Adolescents
• Children (sometimes with their parents)

The group usually divides into smaller groups for age-specific learning activities.


Whole Group Sharing Experience
Closing of the gathering for all ages and receiving the HI-life @ Home Kit.

The evening concludes with a reflection on the learning group activities, the distribution of home kits, and a closing prayer. The group is sent forth to continue learning at home in preparation for the church event or season which is the focus of the month.
