📍 The Lyceum | Basilica of Saint Mary
Date Night at the Basilica is a parish offering for married and engaged couples seeking to grow in their vocation through faith, community, and intentional time together.
These evenings are simple and purposeful—designed to help couples reconnect, build practical skills for their relationship, and then continue the evening out together.
We heard you — childcare makes participation possible.
We are planning to offer on-site childcare during Date Night so couples can fully enjoy the evening together.
Available for infants through elementary-aged children
Cost: $5 per child (maximum $15 per family)
Time: 6:30–9:00 PM
Childcare will be staffed by Virtus-trained adults and parish volunteers.
👉 Childcare registration will be required and space may be limited
We will communicate in advance if there are any changes or limitations based on volunteer availability.
