Children’s Liturgy Announcement

Just a friendly reminder that Children’s Liturgy is a program for all children between the ages of 5 through 12. The Word is shared through stories, discussions, pictures and games to convey the message of the Scriptures. Most importantly, they learn how Jesus is present in our lives through the Gospel and the Eucharist.

So please encourage your children and grandchildren to attend and participate in the Children’s liturgy.

For more information, please contact the Religious Education office.
