KIDs at holy eucharist

"How precious is the family as the privileged place for transmitting the faith!"  Pope Francis


Whether your family is new to the community, returning, or just starting formal faith formation, we are delighted to welcome you and your family to Holy Eucharist! While the family is the primary place where children grow in their faith, we are here to help you and your family to live out the Catholic faith and grow in discipleship. We have many programs for children of all ages to meet the needs of your family.

Kidzone For Kids Ages 2 to 5

At KIDZONE, we offer play and worship for our younger kids. We gather for the duration of the Mass and provide your child with a warm environment to play, connect with other children in our faith community and worship through songs and Bible stories. No previous registration or payment is required.


KidZone meets from September through May. We offer KidZone every week during the Sunday 10:30am Mass on non-LIFT weekends, and we offer Time Travelers at all Masses on LIFT weekends. Contact Lynne Beamer, our KidZone Leader, at 609-268-8383 x107 or lbeamer@holyeucharist.org

Time travelers For Kids Ages 5 to 9 years old

(also known as "ChILDREN'S liturgy of the WORD")

We offer children ages 5 to 9 years old the opportunity to experience the Liturgy of the Word (readings and homily) in a vibrant, exciting program at an age-appropriate level during Mass. Children arrive at Mass along with their families. Then just before Mass begins, the children are invited forward to gather with a trained volunteer and depart for their program. Children return to their parents after the homily for the remainder of the Mass. No previous registration or payment is required.


Time Travelers meets from September through May. We offer Time Travelers every week during the Sunday 8:30am and 10:30am Masses on non-LIFT weekends, and we offer Time Travelers at all Masses on LIFT weekends.

HERO - Our Youth Ministry For Youth in GRADES 8-12

HERO meets every Wednesday from 6:30pm – 8:00pm. The meetups are regularly scheduled from September to June. Please look at the parish calendar for any changes.


Our youth ministry program, is open to all teens, 13 –18 years of age. During our Wednesday night Meet Ups from 6:30pm to 8pm, we offer young people a spiritually challenging and world-shaping vision that meets their hunger to participate in a worthy adventure. As our young people learn more about their Catholic Faith, their spiritual identity grows and matures, and they build friendships. Every meet up includes dynamic youth leadership, Gospel centered conversation, peer faith sharing, contemporary Christian music and tasty snacks. Challenge your teen to attend one Wednesday Meet Up, we know they will come back for more.
