Kinderchurch

Kinderchurch is a parent-participation religious education program for children ages 18 months to 5 years. It takes place during the 9:00 AM Mass from September to May of each year. The children learn about our Catholic Faith through age-appropriate stories, songs, activities and lessons. A teacher and an assistant are needed in all classrooms (2, 3, 4 and Kindergarten room) each week. All curriculum and materials are provided for teachers. No experience needed - just a desire to share God's Word with the children. For more information contact Elizabeth Pott @ ejpott@surewest.net

Children's Liturgy of the Word is offered to children in grades 1 through 4 at the 9am, 11am and 5pm Masses. The children are dismissed from Mass before the 1st reading and return to Mass after the Homily. For more information contact Irene Camerino @ IArevalo@aol.com
