Nursery
Our Nursery program is staffed and welcomes children ages 1-5 during the 9:00 Mass on Sundays. Children engage in story time, song, and activities to help them build a relationship with Jesus and learn the stages of liturgy. This ministry is free to all families. Please sign in a few minutes prior to the start of Mass. Enter through the Sacristy door in the Gathering Space. During our other Masses, parents are welcome to accompany their children in the nursery while still being able to pray the Mass through the TV monitor in the nursery.
