 Family Mass

Once a month, we will celebrate a Family Mass the 10:00 AM Mass,  for all who have children or enjoy praying with the children and encouraging them to take ministerial roles at Mass.  We will be training our 7th and 8th graders to lector and commentate.  The younger children will be greeters, ushers, gift bearers, etc.  Each month, one of the grades (children from the school and religious education) will be responsible for assisting with the roles at Mass.

The family mass dates are as follows (grade responsible is in parentheses):

                October 16 (6th and 8th grades)                        January 8 (3rd grade)

                November 13 (4th grade)                                    February 12 (1st Grade)

                December 12 (Kindergarten/SPRED)                   March 11 (5th and 7th grades)

                December 24 - 2 Masses/2 Plays!                       April 15 (2nd grade)

                       3:00 PM and 5:00 PM (Everyone)                

Many thanks to Anne Marie Olsen and Judy Pyke for their assistance.  If either one calls you to, please say YES!  We thank all of the teens who assisted at Mass and the parents who provided the treats after Mass.   

We hope that all of you will attend the masses.  If you are interested in assisting us, please call Mary Sue Wielgus, Director of Catechesis, at 773-588-6484 or email her at marysue@stbenedict.com
