Celebrate the Word (CtW) begins this Sunday.  First graders are invited to attend CtW; second and third graders are expected to attend this program as it is an essential part of their sacramental preparation.  CtW brings the Word of God to our children in language that they can understand and relate to which helps them to appreciate the Mass and our Catholic traditions.  Please encourage your child to attend CtW whenever it is offered at Mass.  CtW is offered at the 9:00 am Mass three Sundays every month. We are still looking for volunteers to facilitate the program at the 11:00 am Mass. Please call Gary if you are interested in helping with this.
