Mission Statement/Purpose
Our mission is to provide parents with a good alternative to bringing lively little ones into the sanctuary during Mass. We seek to provide a safe and loving place where children can participate in age-appropriate activities during Mass, including some catechesis based on the Pre-K Catholic Faith Development program entitled "Seeds".

Estimated Time Commitment for Volunteers
Two hours per nursery shift. Parents who use the nursery are required to volunteer every at least once every 8-10 weeks, depending on the number of volunteers available for each Mass. Non-parent volunteers may volunteer as often as they wish.

Special Skills
All adults working in the nursery must complete Safe Environment training. Previous experience with toddlers and pre-school aged children is desirable.
