The Children's Liturgy of the Word is a practice of children leaving the Sunday assembly during the Liturgy of the Word and gathering in the Commons to celebrate their own version of the Liturgy of the Word that is more appropriate to their level of understanding.

PURPOSE OF OUR PROGRAM

The Children's Liturgy of the Word aims to introduce children in Grades 1 & 2 to important aspects of God's message by:

• helping them HEAR the Word of God (Sacred Scripture) proclaimed at the Sunday worship
• helping them receive God's Word in their hearts and respond to it in their family life and elsewhere
• leading them in PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL and CREED
• helping them present themselves to God in the offertory (presentation of gifts)

CLASS TIMES

We celebrate Children's Liturgy of the Word during 9:30 a.m. Mass from September through April. We would like to extend the invitation to all children grades 1 & 2 in our parish or public schools to come and join us for the Children's Liturgy of the Word.
