Why We Are Different


“And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

Micah 6:8

Why Is Saint Miriam a Different Type of Church?

Our Saint and namesake is Miriam (14th century B.C.). She was the older sister of Moses thought to be the actual voice behind one of the oldest poems in the Hebrew Scriptures, The Song of Moses, celebrating the previously unimaginable event of God taking the side of the forgotten, dispossessed slaves and leading them to freedom.

Reconciliation:

First Holy Communion (Holy Eucharist):
Holy Eucharist is the central element of all liturgies here at Saint Miriam, and an essential part of our unity with our Catholic Church. In order to prepare, we offer our children a period of formation. The program/process focuses on three major areas: Catechesis, Liturgical ritualization, and Community involvement. During the two years, the child is catechized both at home and by participating in faith formation sessions led by a member of the parish community. The parish also affirms and recognizes parents as the primary catechists of their children. To assist parents in this role and foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Eucharist and Reconciliation, the parents participate in adult faith formation sessions. Additionally, the child participates in rituals designed to introduce the children to the riches of the Eucharist and the life of the Christian community. Finally, members of the parish faith community support the children through prayer and receive them at a formal setting during a Celebration of the Mass. It is a great time of joy! Email to learn more or to enroll.
