Children are invited to join Fr. Frank in the procession each Sunday at 10:30am mass. From there, they are led to the parish hall where they get to participate in the Children's Liturgy program. Children will learn about the lessons of the gospel with their peers in a way that is easy for them to understand, and there are often art activities as well. Please note that Children's Liturgy takes a break over the summer months. For more information, please contact Denis Therrien at 613-228-7646.
