Children's Liturgy

Our children’s Liturgy Programs will be starting at the 11:00 am Mass, September 18th. We offer two acclaimed Liturgy programs for children; Seeds, for children ages 3 – 5, and Good News, for children in grades 1- 4.

Following the opening greeting the children are called forward for a blessing and dismissal from the Mass. The children return to Mass during the offering, prior to the Liturgy of the Eucharist. All children are welcome to attend. Parents are welcomed to come but are not required. If there are any parents or parishioners who would like to assist with the programs please call the office or speak to one of the Liturgy Leaders. This year we will be asking for the parents to complete a short registration form, just so that we can better get to know your child and yourself.

We welcome everyone to the journey of our children’s continued faith.
