We will celebrate a special Liturgy for anyone who is seriously ill, together with their family and/or caregivers. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be administered to those who are ill, and there will be a blessing of caregivers as well. Everyone is welcome to this special Liturgy of healing, strength, and hope.
NOTE: this event will not be a Mass; we have found that the Mass is too lengthy for some people in a weakened state. This will be a Liturgy of the Word with anointing and final blessing.
Who Should Attend? Those whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age. Those soon to have surgery which will include the use of general anesthesia. Elderly people who have become notably weakened, even though no serious illness is present. Seriously ill children who have sufficient use of reason to be strengthened by the sacrament.

Every Sunday at the 9am Family Mass
Our 9am Sunday Mass focuses on helping our youngest parishioners develop a love for & understanding of Christ, His Word, & the Mass.
Children ages 5-10 join friends in the Church Hall following the opening prayers. They work with a catechist to understand the readings at an age-appropriate level. This is a formal worship experience adapted to make it relevant to the lives and experiences of children. Children return to Mass for the Consecration. The Playground is open after Mass! Come play with friends on our school’s beautiful playground.
