May                      1      May Procession – PREP & LaSalle Students at 10:30AM Mass

                            3      Faculty In-Service – Tuesday 5PM

 Every month, one Level of PREP and the LaSalle students in the

same grade, will attend the 10:30AM Mass with their families and teacher. 

The children and their families are asked to sit together in the pews in

front of the tabernacle.  Please arrive by 10:15 AM.  We will try to have

these pews reserved. 

          Children will also be selected to be greeters, distribute the

bulletins, and bring up the gifts.  Older children may also be selected to

do the collection, readings, or cantor. 

          Over the last several years, this has proved to be a wonderful family mass experience.  We appreciate your continued full support and cooperation in making

this community worship an important part of your family faith formation.
