Children’s Liturgy

St. Mary’s Kids offers Children’s Liturgy on certain Sundays at the 9:00 AM Mass. Our trained instructors will teach the lessons from the readings and the Gospel using fun, age-appropriate activities. Check out our upcoming events to see when Children’s Liturgy will be offered next.

My name is Renée and I’ve been a parishioner at St. Mary’s since I was a teenager. I currently am a stay-at-home mom of three boys, but previously worked as a volunteer coordinator, and before that, an elementary teacher. I am excited to help build and foster a community life for our parish families. Our Church is our home, and I hope it can be a place where family life can be supported and nurtured in Christ.
