Children's Liturgy

During 11:30am Mass every Sunday from September – May

By attending Children’s Liturgy, kids in grades K-5 join our dedicated catechists in the Gathering Space during the liturgy to learn about the scripture readings in ways they can understand! They are encouraged to complete activities to exercise what they learn, and are released back to their parents to enjoy the rest of Mass together!

Even those visiting our parish for the first time are welcome and encouraged to join!

Children are called to the Gathering Space directly after the Introductory Rites of the Mass, and are released back to their families in the Sanctuary during the Presentation of Gifts.
