DID YOU KNOW!
We offer Pre-K and Kindergarten Religious Education Classes. Our program is designed to introduce young children to our Catholics Faith through songs, crafts, games and stories! We invite you to come and tour our program. Call Blanca Cisneros at 201-339-2070
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
Family Mass is EVERY Sunday.
Family Gathering is a monthly gathering after the 9:45 am Family Mass. Check your religious education calendar for the dates.
