Jesus and Me Program at Mass
This program takes place during 8 A.M. Mass at St. Charles.  All children who have not yet made their First Communion are invited to participate. Come to church as a family. During the Liturgy of the Word, young children will be excused to Andre Hall to hear stories about Jesus and have their own quiet time. Before the Liturgy of the Eucharist, they will rejoin their families.  If you have any questions regarding this program or you might be interested in volunteering, please contact Jenny at 262-767-0740.
