Young children are always welcome at Mass. Father loves to see their little faces and hear their little voices. But we also understand that your Mass experience might be a little different if you aren't wrestling a 2 year old! So we offer care for your little ones if you need it.
The nursery is located in the main school building in the extended day care facility. Children ages 8 months - 3 years are welcome.

Receive my Peace. It is My continual gift to you. The best way to receive this gift is to sit quietly in My Presence, trusting Me in every area of your life. Quietness and trust accomplish far more than you can imagine: not only in you, but also on earth and in heaven. When you trust Me in a given area, you release that problem or person into My care.
Spending time alone with Me can be a difficult discipline because it goes against the activity addiction of this age. You may appear to be doing nothing, but actually you are participating in battles going on within spiritual realms. You are waging war - not with the weapons of the world, but with heavenly weapons, which have divine power to demolish strongholds. Living close to Me is a sure defense against evil.
John 14:27; Isaiah 30:15; 2 Corinthians 10:4
Material above is from the September 12th entry in a daily devotional called Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence, by Sarah Young, © 2004 by Thomas Nelson publishers. (Thanks Sheila Marty and Shannon Manley.)
