Share the word of God with the youngest of God’s children during 9:00 am Sunday morning Masses during the academic year. Children ages five through fourth grade hear the Word proclaimed with their catechist in the Newman library and participate in an activity related to the Sunday readings.

Catechesis sessions for Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade are held on most Sundays from mid September to early May.
