Children’s Liturgy of the Word
Children, grades 1-4, are invited to listen to the Sunday readings at Mass from a Children’s Lectionary (Bible). Each week, at the 9 AM and 11 AM Masses, children are blessed and dismissed so that they can hear God’s word at their own level and receive some basic instruction in the faith. They return to the congregation before Communion. Facilitators follow a set format with the children each week. For more information, contact Suzy Elower at 498-8330.

Sunday Co-Op Pre-School

Vacation Bible School
The summer months can often be long and boring for children who are out of school. Why not involve your child(ren) in our annual Vacation Bible School? This week-long program of bible study, faith formation and fun follows a certain theme which is acted out in drama, activities and story-telling. For more information, contact JuDee Peterson at 436-3431.

Infant Baptism
The Newman Center prepares parents and godparents to celebrate the Baptism of their newborn children. For first-time parents and godparents, attending a pre-Baptism seminar is the prerequisite for baptizing children under school age. Baptisms are celebrated every 3rd and 4th Sunday of the month. For children of school age, enrollment in our Religious Education program is required before celebrating Baptism. For information on infant Baptism, contact Deacon John Supino at 436-3437.
