Children’s Liturgy

See Roster here.

“Let the little children come to me...
for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.” Lk. 10:14.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word is conducted each Sunday of the school year at the 9.30. Mass.

The Children’s Liturgy of the Word has as its primary purpose: to help children participate fully ass members of the community gathered for worship. Concretely, this means to help children celebrate liturgy in a meaningful way by: hearing the Word proclaimed; by responding with silence, song and prayer and by being lead to understand the proclaimed word.

This is a time of prayer and celebration; it is not a time for formal catechism classes, such as the term “Sunday School” would suggest. It is a time more like listening and responding to God; a time to experience God more than to learn about him.

Parents are welcome to accompany children to their Liturgy of the Word. The children leave the church after the opening prayer and return during the time of preparation of the gifts.
