Our Children's Ministries

If you're looking for opportunities to serve the most enthusiastic and vibrant group in our church family, look no further! Check out the list below and then get in touch.

Children's Church

​This ministry, held at 11:00 AM during Sunday Mass, offers young children an opportunity to experience the Word in a way that engages them at their level. The children, ages 4 to 5, are dismissed at the Opening Prayer to read and discuss the Gospel and then work on an art project or worksheet that supports the Gospel they just read. Children return to Mass after the Lord’s Prayer. For more information, visit the Children's Church home page. 

Volunteers assist the children with activities that allow them to really participate in the liturgy. The volunteer commitment is approximately 1 hour per month. To volunteer, please contact Donna Martin at ​kd3526@verizon.net or complete our Children's Church registration form to get started.

Early Learning Center

The Early Learning Center offers preschool programs with certified teachers for children ages 2-1/2 through 5 years.  All information on the program can be found on their website at www.olcelc.com. For questions or additional information, please contact Shelly Carr, Assistant Director, at olcelc1163@gmail.com or by calling 610-857-1163.

Life Teen Youth Program

This mission of Life Teen is to lead our youth closer to Christ through prayer and fellowship.  Our young people engage in fun social events throughout the year as well as teachings.  Life Teen meets every Sunday after the 11:00 am Mass at the Schneider Parish Center. New Core Team members are always needed! For more information, visit the Life Teen home page or contact Janice Dagney at jdagney@gmail.com or 610-857-0511.

Little Blessings

During the 11:00 am Sunday Mass, we offer a nursery for small children (ages 1-3 years) at the Schneider Parish Center.  This allows parents the opportunity to attend and be full participants in the Mass without being distracted by the needs of their little ones.  The children have fun playing with toys and making new friends.  There must be two volunteers staffing the nursery each Sunday. Volunteer commitment is approximately 1 hour per month.
