We hold a silent prayer session with Eucharistic Adoration on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 8:45 in the Chapel located on the
south side of the Church.
Children’s Liturgy on Sundays at the 9:30 Mass for children in Grades 1 - 5. When the Celebrant
announces that it is time for the Children’s Liturgy, the children should proceed to the back of the church quietly and in a prayerful manner. A Prayer Leader will then take them into the Chapel, where they will hear the readings and have them explained in a
way that they can easily understand. After the readings they will return to the Church to sit with their parents for the remainder of the Mass.
