At Mass, the children are lead to
the Multipurpose room to hear & discuss the readings for the day.
Sometimes an older child may be asked to lead the first reading. The
children then say together the responsorial Psalm. The adult leader
reads the Gospel. The leader will then open the discussion with an
explanation or questions to get the children thinking about what the
reading meant and how it can apply to them and their daily lives. They
end with a final prayer. They are then lead back to the church to
prepare for Liturgy of the Eucharist.
CLW is not childcare. Remind your children that while
at CLW, they are still “in church”. Older siblings are welcome to
come and help out with the younger children.
Children’s Liturgy of the Word is
held during all Sunday Masses, September through April with the
exceptions of major holiday weekends. Registration is not required.
Adult volunteers
are needed to lead and assist in this great and rewarding ministry for
the children. Volunteers rotate once a month. No experience is
required. Training and all materials are provided. If you can give
about 30 minutes per month, please consider sharing your love of God
with our younger parishioners.
