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. Mahalo

Calling all Teens!

Our Religious Education for Teens continues. If you have received all of your Sacraments, yet want to continue to study and enjoy the company of your peers, please join us to add to the learning experience. If you are not Catholic and have not received your Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation, here is your chance to come to complete that part of your Spiritual growth. Remember, if you ever want to be a Godparent, you must be a Confirmed Catholic! Classes are the usual time, 10:15 am, right after the 9 am Mass on Sunday. Come to class this Sunday to register. See you there!
