In most Catholic churches (and even in many Catholic homes), a “May Altar” is erected with a statue or picture of Mary, flowers, and perhaps candles. The altar...

We offer care for children while their parents attend the 9:00 and 11:00 Sunday Masses. Parents simply need to bring their children to the school, about twenty minutes before Mass. This service is directed by Kids Kampus, a state-licensed child care provider, and is for children from six months thru six years. After registering, parents leave their cell phone number so that if necessary they can be contacted in church. We recognize that many families prefer to have their young children attend church with them, and our Crying Room and Children’s Liturgy of the Word will continue to help them.
