Parents of children and babies of all ages are strongly encouraged to celebrate Mass with their children. CTK does not offer child care during the Mass, as it is vitally important that children experience the sacred liturgy with their parents and family.
Note: In the event that a child can’t be calmed after a period of time, there are “cry rooms” in the back of the sanctuary which are equipped with windows and audio to give parents relief where they can still fully participate in Mass.
