Let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. Matthew 19:14

The family is placed at the center of the great struggle between good and evil, between life and death, between love and all that is opposed to love.
Pope Saint John Paul II

Catechists

The ministry of Religious Education at St. Mary's works to help families better understand their faith and to continue the mission of Jesus Christ in the world. It is the job of the Catechist to help the child to understand their faith better. Our catechists are volunteers that willingly share their time, talents and the love of their faith with the children.

Liturgy of the Word with Children

This is a fun-filled event held every Sunday morning from approximately 10:45 am to 11:00 am. Children, ages pre-K to 5th Grade, hear the Word proclaimed to them in the Chapel. They then rejoin the congregation for the remainder of the 10:30 Mass.
