Children & Families
The family is where we are formed as people. Every family is a brick in the building of society.
(Pope Francis)
The Christian home is a place where children first learn about The Faith. The family home is “the domestic church,” a community of grace and prayer, a school of human virtues and of Christian charity.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1666)
Children's Liturgy & Children-Led Mass
Children aren't just the future of the Church – they're its present!
​
Children ages 4-7 who have not yet received their First Communion are invited to an engaging children's session once a month during the 9 or 11 am Mass. Keep an eye on the Weekly Update for announcements about Children's Liturgy!
​
The first Sunday of each month is a Children-Led Mass, where our children ​will take on special roles like reading, bringing up the gifts, and singing to share their gifts with the parish community. All are welcome to attend.

Little Disciples Ministry (LDM)
This ministry is being formed through the heartfelt vision of six parents who recognize a simple yet powerful truth: our children are not just the future of the Church, they are an active and living part of it today. The hope is to create a space where our youngest parishioners can grow in their faith, share their gifts, and help lead the parish in worship through children’s Masses and other faith-filled activities. Keep an eye on the Weekly Update for updates.
