Preparing for the Sacraments
Children's Liturgy of the Word
Wonderful opportunity during the
The Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOTW) will begin again in September! It is a fantastic ministry which provides a chance for preschoolers thru grade 1 children to have a unique and special involvement during the Sunday Masses. All are welcome! From age 4 thru gr.1 students, visitors or parishioners!
Before the readings begin during our Sunday Mass, we invite our young friends up to the front of the altar to be blessed by the priest, and then they have a Liturgy of the Word that is tailored to them in another meeting room in the church. All Scripture is the word of God. This opportunity allows for the message to be heard and understood at their level; thus increasing their faith with grace and compassion.
There is no registration for the children to attend the CLOTW. If you are at any of the Masses when the priest invites the youth to participate, please encourage your children to come and partake in this opportunity. There will be an announcement from the presiding priest inviting the kids up to the altar, and then the children will follow the lead catechist to the meeting room for their special liturgy. The children will return to their families in the pews during the beginning of the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
