Little Church is more than just a nursery. Offered during the 8:00 am and 11:00 am Sunday Masses for children between the ages of 18 months and 5 years, this program introduces your child to Jesus Christ through prayer, story, and song. Children will hear the Sunday scriptures in a fun, interactive, and engaging way. For contact information, see the parish directory. Volunteers are needed to continue this ministry. If you are interested in volunteering please call the parish office, (636) 227-5247.
What used to be called the “cry room” is now referred to as the St. Anne Family Room. St. Anne was the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandmother to Jesus. Our hope is that this small change in name sends the message that you and your child are welcome here. If using this room helps you pray, please do so. If you would prefer to sit in the main church, you are welcome there too.
