The Catholic Church recognizes that the parents have primary responsibility for the religious education of their children. It is within family life that children learn about God, love for others, share prayer, learn about sacrifice and service, and celebrate sacraments together-including the Sunday Eucharist each week.

SUNDAY PROGRAMS
Nursery
The Sunday morning nursery for toddlers, ages 1 to 3 (12-36 months) is available year round during both masses. They will be cared for, play, pray, and begin to know what being in a faith community looks, sounds, and feels like.
Children's Liturgy of the Word
During Sunday morning masses children, grades K-4, will have the opportunity to hear and reflect on the Word together. Children will be invited, led by their catechist, to the chapel adjacent to the Worship space.
SUMMER PROGRAMMING
Vacation Bible School
For children ages 4 (by September 1) through 5th grade, Vacation Bible School is a great way to spend a cool week in the summer. Children have the opportunity to reconnect and explore their faith for five half days with a fun theme.
