Many children get their first experience of a loving parish community through our nursery during Mass and other parish events. This ministry provides a precious moment of peace for parents so they can get in touch with God. Children ages one and up are accepted, though around age five, children are encouraged to begin going to Mass with their parents.
Babysitting is provided at Saints John & Paul during Sunday Masses, as well as during many parish events throughout the year. There is no babysitting offered on holidays so that the sitters may spend time with their own families. Please note:
• Parents must pre-register for babysitting at a given event by contacting Trish Cerminara at [email protected]t or (724) 935-2104 x259
• Children must be at least one year old and walking Infants under the age of one are typically permitted to stay with their parents at the event.
• The capacity of the nursery is 15 children If the nursery is full, parents can use the Bride's Room in the church to stay with their children. The Bride's Room has windows into the church and speakers so that you can see and hear what's happening.
We are very blessed and thrilled to have such a beautiful nursery in which to watch the children. We do ask for donations from families for diapers, wipes, toys, games, DVDs, books, etc. There is a TV in the nursery which is used as an educational tool in teaching the children a little bit of what goes on at Mass.
