Sunday Nursery

"Whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it."  Mark 10:15

Would you like someone to watch your toddlers so that you and others can fully appreciate Mass without distractions? From September until May (except for a few holidays), our parish Religious Education Program offers nursery care during the Sunday 10:30 a.m. Mass at no cost for children up to the age of 3 years. (We have Religious Education classes for children 3 years old and above.)

What you need to know about the Nursery
The Nursery opens at 10:15 a.m. to allow parents time to drop off their children and be seated in the church for Mass. Children cannot be left unattended in the Nursery; please wait until an adult volunteer arrives before leaving your child. All children must be picked up after the 10:30 a.m. Mass ends. Please check the bulletin or the Religious Education activity calendar for dates when the Nursery is not available.

There is no need to formally register your children for this program. We ask that you sign a sign-in and sign-out form and provide your cell phone number (where applicable) in case of emergency. (You should put your phone on "vibrate" during Mass in case there is a problem.)   Where to sit during Mass If possible, we ask that parents sit on the right side of the Church, on the piano/choir side near the wall aisle. If your child becomes overly distressed, a staff member can call a parent out of Mass to remove the child from the Nursery.   Ages The Nursery is for infant and toddler children who are up to the age of 3 years old. (Children who are 3 years old and older are invited to participate in our Religious Education classes.)
