Importance of Participating with Your Children in Holy Mass
The Mass is a vital part of the religious education of our children. When we bring our children to Holy Mass, we are bringing our children directly to Jesus: Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, in the Eucharist! Our children are our gifts from God. As parents/guardians, it is our responsibility to bring them to God to teach them to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him!
Family Mass
This is a monthly mass Requirement on Sundays at 9:45 AM. Check your religious education calendar for the dates.
