Absolutely, you and your child would be more than welcome to attend Mass at our parish. We understand that children can become restless during Mass, and we want to assure you that it is completely normal and we encourage families to bring their children to Mass.
Come prepared. Bring snacks, toys, and other items to keep your child entertained and comfortable during Mass. You may also want to bring a nappy bag with all the necessary items you may need.
Sit near the back of the church. This can make it easier to step out if your child needs a break or is making noise.
