FAMILY MASS
Sundays at 9:30 a.m., in the Church
Pictured is our Jubilate Children’s Choir
Are you a parent of school-age children who have struggled to engage with the Mass? Do you find it hard for your little ones to make it through an entire Mass?
We are excited to share that our 9:30 a.m. Mass in the Church is tailored to families with children!
This joyful liturgy is popular with school families and parents with young children. Children's Liturgy of the Word (see below!) is offered most weeks during the school year, and the music is simplified to allow all ages to participate.
At this Mass you will often hear our children’s choir accompanied by a piano. (Learn more about our Jubilate Children’s Choir below!)
The goal is to help our families feel connected in a deeper way to the Mass. We can’t wait to worship with you this Sunday!
Children’s Liturgy of the Word
Sundays thru June 2, 2024 at the 9:30 Masses
During most Sundays throughout the school year, during the Liturgy of the Word at both 9:30 Masses, we will host a Children's Liturgy in Fahey (the large room in the parish center). The Children's Liturgy is a moment for kids ages 4-7 to hear God's Word especially for them, with songs, videos and other activities. After the homily, kids are brought back to their parents for the remainder of Mass. This ministry not only helps children process the liturgy in a kid-centered way, but helps their parents hear the Liturgy of the Word at Mass without distractions. For the 2023-2024 school year, CLOW will be offered from 9/24/23 - 6/2/24.
Please note, CLOW will NOT be offered on the following dates: 10/8, 11/26, 12/24, 12/31, 1/7, 2/18, 2/25, 3/31, 4/7, 5/12, 5/26
