Mass attendance is an important part of Faith Life!!! It is important to renew ourselves each week for who we need to be, followers of Jesus. Our Baptism calls us to be Disciples of Jesus Christ.
Parents:
• Although our program generally meets each week, please note that there are some dates when we are NOT in session, due to holiday observances/school vacations/conflicts with parish activities.
• Closings/cancellations will be announced via local TV and radio stations. Every effort will be made to leave this information on our office voice messaging system as well (627-9397)
