Children's Liturgy of the Word is offered every Sunday from early September through Palm Sunday at the 9 AM Masses. Before the Liturgy of the Word, children ages 3-5 will be called to the altar for a special blessing from the priest before they follow their teachers to a classroom to hear the Gospel in an age-appropriate setting. They will participate in activities to support the theme of the Gospel and to help bring the message home. Teachers will return the children to the Mass during the offertory song.
Children of parishioners and visitors are welcome to join in the Children's Liturgy of the Word. No registration is required.
*All adult volunteers in contact with the children must be willing to meet the Essential Three: VIRTUS training, Background Check/Evaluation, and Code of Conduct through the Archdiocese. We are willing to provide these for both adults and youth volunteers.
*Youth volunteers must sign the Code of Conduct, complete the Personal Safety Lesson training and provide 2 letters of reference (from a teacher, supervisor, principal, etc.). See Cris Young for more details.
