- New This Year - YDM now includes the 10:30 Mass - Catechists will bring children into the sanctuary where we will have a reserved section. Parents are expected to be present, and children can either sit with their parents or remain with their catechist and classmates. If staying with catechist, for safety reasons, parents will need to go receive their child from the catechist at the end of Mass. On the 3rd Sunday 10:30am Mass, grade school students will fulfill many of the Mass roles!
- Mass Bags are Back - Mass Bags are available for families with young children to pick up before Mass to help them stay engaged in Mass. They include Mass books, picture Bibles, I Spy sheets, and puzzles. All quiet activities that can be done during Mass and are about God's Word! After using, please place in the "used" Mass bag place so they can be refreshed before next week's Masses.
- Altar Servers - We are looking for young people to answer the call from God and Father Andy to be Mass Servers. We will provide training, mentoring, and support. Any students from 3rd grade and older are welcome to join the Servers Team. For more information, please email Stacy Abraham at mrsabraham1@wi.rr.com , talk to Fr Andy after Mass, or contact the Parish Office.
