Children & Youth Ministries

 

Children's Liturgy of the Word

Offers children in grades K-4 an alternative to the Liturgy of the Word celebrated during the Sunday 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Mass. After the penitential rite, the celebrant invites children to leave the worship space with their catechist. In an informal setting, the children explore the meaning of the Sunday lectionary readings and rejoin their families after the prayer of the faithful.
