Children Programs

Childcare during Mass and Activities

 

Childcare for children age 1 to 3 is available in the nursery in the parish hall during the 10:30 am Mass each Sunday we have Children's Faith Formation Classes.  Volunteers are welcome, and are background checked.  Our goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for children while their parents attend Mass.  The nursery is located in the parish hall in the hallway to the left of the main office.  If you have any questions call/email Joyce Sprouse 503-393-5323 ext 311

 

Children's Liturgy of the Word

 

Children's Liturgy of the Word is offered on most Sundays during the 10:30 am Mass from September through April. Children in Grades 1-5 are invited to go with their own Minister of the Word to hear the readings and the Gospel proclaimed at their own level. They are then given the opportunity to discuss the readings and offer their own prayer intentions before returning to Mass in time for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

Temporarily Suspended due to lack of volunteers!
