Take a break from your kids and have a chance to fully appreciate Mass! Parish & Family Life sponsors a parent co-op nursery for children ages 9 months to 3 years from October to May during the 9:15 a.m. Mass. 

What you need to know about the Nursery 
The Nursery opens at 9:00am to allow parents time to drop off their child and be seated in the Main Church for Mass. Children cannot be left unattended in the Nursery. Please wait until a scheduled volunteer arrives before leaving your child in the Nursery. All children must be picked up immediately after the 9:15 Mass. 

It is requested that parents sit on the right side of the Church, near the Pulpit. If your child becomes overly distressed, staff will call parents out of Mass to remove their child from the Nursery.

The age range for the Nursery is 9 months through 3 years. 

The maximum number of children in the Nursery cannot exceed 15.

Parents who register their children for the Nursery are scheduled to staff the Nursery on a regular, rotating schedule.  If you cannot attend, it is your responsibility to find a replacement. Phone numbers and e-mails for registered families can be found on the schedule page. 

Diaper Changing Policy
As a general rule, staff will not change a child's diaper. Please be sure your child is clean and dry prior to dropping them off in the Nursery. In order for staff to change a diaper in an "emergency," written permission must have been given by the parent prior to leaving the child in the Nursery. (This is part of the registration form.)

Illness
If your child exhibits any of the following symptoms, please keep them home from the Nursery: chills, sore throat, diarrhea, fever over 100 degrees, runny nose, ear ache, rash, vomiting, flushed face, severe or raspy cough, red, itchy, swollen or runny eyes. Your cooperation will help keep the children and staff healthy! 

Fire Emergency Procedures
In the event of fire, staff will move all children out of the building and across the driveway. Please pick up your child in this area - do not come to the Nursery to pick up your child.
