Group Overview: In January 2003, the first meeting/coffee hour of the Society of Elder Faiths *Pagan Family Connection* took place at the Brigham Hill Community Farm in Grafton. The gathering was a blend of a social coffee hour and a business meeting. The coffee hour was a chance for pagan families to meet other pagans in the area and make connections. The business part of the afternoon served as an opportunity to find out what these pagan parents want from the Society of Elder Faiths in terms of programs and services.
After some discussion, it was decided that we begin holding Sabbat Celebrations specifically designed for families. Since then, we have had many celebrations on our own, as well as some in conjunction with the local CUUPS organization and some (Beltain and Lammas) in conjunction with the big Society of Elder Faiths Community Sabbat celebrations.
The Society of Elder Faiths is a Pagan religious organization incorporated as a church under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The SEF was founded in 1996 by elders of five Wiccan covens in order to help build a vibrant Pagan Community, and to provide services to the local Pagan community which require a larger scale, more formal organizational structure than our individual covens can comfortably offer.
Our Family Sabbat Celebrations include seasonal crafts and games, snacks, stories, and a child-friendly ritual.
All are welcome, not only those with kids!
Our requested donation is $3/family for SEF Members, and $5/family for non-members.
