Liturgy of the Word for Children: All children in grades Pre-K through three are invited to participate in the Children’s Liturgy of the Word and Liturgical Catechesis program each week at the 10:30 Mass. The priest will call the children forward after the opening prayer. The children will be dismissed from class at 11:30 a.m. and return to the church where their parents may pick them up.
Children’s Liturgy at the 5:15 Mass: Beginning Saturday, November 8th, Sister Rene will take DeSales children, pre-K through grade 3, and all other preschoolers through grade 3 who are not counting this as their main religion class at the 5:15 p.m. Mass. Those who attend class on Saturday or the family program are also welcome. They will continue to line up on the right hand side of the altar and process in before Mass. Dismissal will be at the end of Mass. We try to get them out before the final blessing.
Welcome to a New and Exciting Year!
