Liturgy of the Word with Children

Details:

Liturgy of the Word with Children provides an opportunity for the children of our parish from age 3 years to third grade to hear and experience the Sunday scripture readings at the 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Masses in an age appropriate environment. After the Opening Prayer the children are invited to leave the church with the leaders. If the parents wish to accompany a young child, they are welcome. The children are divided into two groups. Because the group is so much smaller, the children are able to sit quietly, listen attentively and participate with joy and enthusiasm.

What happens at Liturgy of the Word with Children?

There is a procession, opening prayer, 1st reading, responsorial psalm, gospel reading, discussion/reflection, Apostle's Creed, intercessions, then the return procession to church to join the larger community for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

No need to register your child.
