USE OF THE PORCH DURING MASS
We really welcome families with children to our community and for this reason, we have set up the porch as a play area for children under school age during Mass. To keep your child safe, we ask that every child is accompanied by an adult at all times. Similarly, children under school age are welcome at little church and must be accompanied by an adult.
