Mass Missions

In the fall and spring for 12 consecutive weeks each, the kids have a mission to learn more about the church and the Mass!

Fall Mass Mission Dates

Oct 1st and 2nd- Dec 17th and 18th

Spring Mass Mission Dates

Jan 14th and 15th- April 1st and 2nd

Attend Mass each week, complete the mission after Mass, put the mission back in the same envelope, and then have your child ‘mail their mission’ by placing it in the special mailbox in the narthex. Be sure your child’s name is on the mission and the envelope so we can properly record that it has been completed each week.

Where do I Pick Up My Mission?

Family Faith Formation Program Families:

Pick up your child’s mission each week when you come to class on the table in the hallway near the craft supply cart. Each mission envelope will be labeled with your child’s name.

Parent to Child Families:

Pick up your child’s mission in the Narthex before the Mass you attend. The missions will be in a box, on a table marked “Mass Mission.” Each mission envelope will be labeled with your child’s name.
