Imagine a place where children are leaders and they listen intently to the word of God and share their comments now and again. It's a happy place full of energy and love.
Each Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, St. Paul Church celebrates a Family Mass -- a place where parents aren't nudging their children to sit straight or pay attention during the Gospel. They don't have to because the children are listening to what other children have to say about God, service to others and kindness.
The St. Paul's Children's Choir leads the joy-filled music and what's felt most profoundly at the Family Mass is that everyone is welcome, whether you have been attending church for years or are bringing your child for the first time.
The St. Paul's philosophy is that you are welcome wherever you are on your faith journey.
It's a special time to experience firsthand how much love and fellowship there is in both our children and our parish community.

Everyone is encouraged to actively participate in our Family Mass. Families with young children are invited to serve as greeters, children in grades 2 to 5 may sing in our Children's Choir, young people in middle and high school may serve as ushers, high school and college students are encouraged to serve in the youth lector ministry. All families are invited to present the gifts (grandparents too), and all adults are invited to assist in the Mass by guiding the children or joining them on the altar for the gospel and homily.
There are so many ways to be involved with the wonderful ministry. You are also invited to join the Family Mass Committee. All are welcome. Please email stpaulfamilymass@mail.com to express your interest in participating.
