You are welcome to join your child at Mass on Tuesday or Friday! We leave the classroom promptly at 7:50 to go to Mass. You can wait in the church lobby area and join us as we walk by. We ask that you please sit with our class next to your child instead of taking your child somewhere else to sit with you. Also, please help your child follow our dress code policy for Mass in the student handbook.
