School Liturgies
During the School Year, the children attend the 8 am weekday Masses at Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Parish (Saint Celestine Worship Site), according to the following schedule:
Mondays – Grades 1, 2 and 5
Wednesdays – Grades 3 and 4
Fridays – Grades 6, 7 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 also have the once-a-month all-school Masses in the St. Celestine Church on the following dates during the 2021-2022 Year:
- Friday, September 10 – Mass at 1:45 pm – Prepared by 8th Grade (in honor of September 11)
- Monday, November 1 – Feast of All Saints Mass at 1:45 pm – Prepared by 1st & 7th Grades
- Tuesday, November 16 – Mass at 1:45 pm – Prepared by 4th Grade
- Wednesday, December 8 – Feast of the Immaculate Conception Mass at 1:45 pm – Prepared by 2nd Grade
- Tuesday, February 1 – Catholic Schools Week Mass – Prepared by Kindergarten and 3rd Grade
- Ash Wednesday, March 2 – Mass 1:45 pm – Prepared by 5th Grade
- Wednesday, April 13 – Mass at 1:45 pm – Prepared by 6th Grade
- Tuesday, June 7 – Last Day of School – Prayer Service and Awards at 9 am in the School Gym
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.
For the 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.
Please see the weekly schedule of the School Liturgies on the right sidebar of this page.
Also, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Parish (Saint Celestine Worship Site) offers Liturgy of the Word for Children that takes place at the 11 am Mass on the second and fourth Sundays of the month during the year.
