Children's Liturgy of the Word

What we do
Children's Liturgy of the Word is an opportunity for children aged 6 and older to listen to God's word. It's offered each weekend at the Sunday 9:30 AM Mass.  After a prayer of dismissal by the officiating priest the children gather with three adults in the Gast Social Room to hear and reflect on the day's Scripture reading for about 20 minutes.  Children rejoin the assembly after the General Intercessions. 

Opportunities
Adults with a love of liturgy proclaim the Scriptures and lead the children in discussion. Cantors lead the the psalm response and gospel acclamations in song. 

Training
One training session, plus VIRTUS training is required for working with children.  Resource materials are available.
