School Liturgies
During the School Year, the children attend the 8 am weekday Masses, according to the following schedule:
| Mondays |
Grades 1 and 5 |
| Tuesdays |
Grades 3 and 7 |
| Wednesdays |
Grades 2 and 6 |
| Fridays |
Grades 4 and 8 |
For these weekday Masses, the students will be seated in the section of pews immediately to the left and to the right of the main sections of pews off of the center aisle. These Masses will follow the usual, simple form of celebration as weekday Masses have in the past. We will continue to have the once-a-month all-school Masses, which usually fall on Thursdays at 1:15 pm. These are sprinkled throughout the academic year.
We believe it is a tremendous blessing to have our parish school children attending Mass at least once during the week. Through this, may all our parishioners learn again the importance of and need for regular attendance at Mass. Perhaps our children - by their prayers and example - will be the catalysts to bring others back to church.
For the Thursdays Masses (once-a-month all-school Masses), each grade level is responsible for the preparation of these liturgies. The students serve as readers, singers, and altar servers. Each liturgy has a theme, and the students are active participants in its prayerful presentation. We also have a faculty choir that sings during the liturgies.

Also, Saint Celestine Parish offers Children's Liturgy of the Word that takes place at the 9 am Mass on the second and fourth Sundays of the month during the year.
