Children's Liturgy of the Word

What we do
Each weekend at the Sunday 9:30 AM Mass, children aged 6 and older are invited to celebrate the Children's Liturgy of the Word.  After a prayer of dismissal by the officiating priest the children gather with several adults in the Gast Social Room to hear and reflect on the day's Scripture reading.  Children rejoin the assembly after the General Intercessions. 

Opportunities
Adult facilitators, on a rotating schedule, proclaim the scriptures and lead the children in discussion.  Cantors lead the the psalm response and gospel acclamations.

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