God’s Word for children, led by an adult volunteer facilitator, using a variety

through 5th grade at the 5 p.m. Saturday, 9 a.m., and 10:30 a.m. Sunday Masses.

By
celebrating the liturgy with these children, our hope is to make the Word of God
come alive for them in a very special way! It takes a very small amount of your
time to make a very big difference to our children. We extend our most heartfelt
thanks to the volunteers who donate
their time, talents and love to our parish’s little ones.
I
invite you to join us in this very rewarding ministry. For additional
information, please see the Q&A below.
