Jesus said,

“Let the children come to Me and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14)

Parents of our young children – Relax!

God put the wiggle in children; don’t feel you have to suppress it in God’s house.

Sit toward the front where it is easier for your little ones to see and hear what’s going on at the altar.

Sing the hymns, pray and voice the responses.

Children learn by copying you.

Quietly explain the Mass and actions of the priest, altar servers, choir, etc.

If you have to leave Mass with your child, feel free to do so, but please come back!  We have a closed circuit TV in the narthex meeting room where you can watch and listen.

Remember that the way we welcome children in church directly affects the way they respond to the Church, to God and to one another.  Let them know that they are at home in this house of worship.

We celebrate the presence of children as a gift to the church.  They are a reminder that our parish is growing.

Please welcome our children and give a smile and kind word of encouragement to their parents.

Parish Happenings

 

Join us for the first St. Genevieve Parish Fall Festival — a day filled with fun, fellowship, and community spirit!
Bring your family, friends, and neighbors as we come together to enjoy delicious food, music, games, raffles, crafts and more! There will be something for everyone, from kids’ activities to raffles and local vendors.
Best of all, the funds raised will go towards renovating our parish hall bathrooms, ensuring a more comfortable and accommodating experience for all who visit and use the space.
Let’s gather, celebrate, and make a difference together! Use the above QR code or the below Venmo code to sponsor or donate to help make the event a success. 
We can’t wait to see you there!

St. Genevieve School Laps for Learning

SGS students and faculty will put on their walking shoes on October 11th to participate in the school’s annual Laps for Learning.  The students will walk, jog and dance their way around Bysher Field to raise money for classroom materials, teacher workshops and other school enhancements.  If you would like to support the students in their fundraising, please click on the link or send a check made out to St. Genevieve Home & School.  No donation is too small and all are greatly appreciated!
