Community, as a family!
Faith-Centered Community is the center of this initiative. We cultivate an environment that invites families to Play & Pray together
Here’s how it works: Families are invited to join other families for an afternoon of faith-centered sensory play, crafts, circle time, and other activities. Food and drinks will be available for purchase! Play & Pray will be held both indoors and outdoors. Oh, and it’s free!

Frequently Asked Questions!
Play & Pray Date is for families with children under the age of 5.
If your children are over the age of 5, you are still welcome, but most activities will be geared towards this younger stage of childhood.
That’s right! Play & Pray is free to attend – it’s our little thanks to the young families who give life to Orange Diocese. Don’t forget to sign up and reserve a spot though!
There will be activities and programming for families with young children all focused around our Catholic faith.
This will be similar to a pop-up play date with things like sensory play stations, arts and crafts, soft play, and face painting. A preschool teacher will lead a catechetical circle time filled with prayer, music, dancing, and story time!
Playing & Praying works up an appetite!
Various food, snack, and beverage vendors will be selling food and drink!
Parents want to raise healthy, faith-filled, well-formed, and fulfilled children.
In early childhood, parents are deep in the trenches of parenting and are looking for ways to engage their little ones and allow them to grow. We believe that it is our collective responsibility to create opportunities for families to come together, share experiences, support each other, and learn about their faith.
Our prayer is that families can have fun, play and learn, and build communities of faith, mutual care, and connection!
