Virtual Thursday Folder - Apr. 11th

We are excited to have many new families joining our Hi-C community for the 2023-24 school year! We would love to continue our Buddy Family program. Current Hi-C families are paired with a new family to be a connection to the community. We ask Buddy Families to welcome the new family and be an additional resource if they have questions.

If your family is interested in being a Buddy Family, please complete the short form HERE.

We try to partner families who have students of similar ages so we would love a wide variety of families including those with middle school students!

Thank you for considering!

Questions? Email Mary Nyhus at m.nyhus@highlandcatholic.org

Belonging is identified as a basic human need in Maslow’s pyramid. Human beings are

happier and healthier when they feel they belong, and when that belonging lacks, it

affects their self-concept and ability to experience fulfillment.

Join our April 17 Living Room Conversation on Belonging where you can explore with

groups of 4 to 6 people where and how you feel a sense of belonging and what kind of

impact that has. Pick the session that best fits your schedule: 8:30 to 10 a.m. OR 6:30 to

8 p.m. in the Lumen Christi Community Room.

Living Room Conversations are designed to make our church a place where we can talk about

important topics and feel safe, respected, understood. Where conversation around current issues

becomes a pathway to belonging and building community.

Treats will be served. Registration appreciated, but not required. Feel free to drop in!
