Children 'shine' at first 9:30 Mass

The Mass attendance included many children

There was an abundance of children with their parents at the 9:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday. This Mass under the new time schedule was designed specifically for children and their families .  Almost everything was handled by the

Student choir at Mass

children: Liturgy readings, prayer petitions, bringing up the gifts, altar servers and, of course, the children’s choir.

The choir, led by organist Tim Longfellow and teacher Janet Hazlett, sang the hymns and provided a nice rendition of the Alleluia, Anthem and “This Little Light of Mine” with bell chimes.  Marco Colant was lector and altar servers were Adam Bugajski and Ryan Canan.
