Children in grades K-6 are accompanied by our CLOW team following the opening prayers and they return to Mass prior to the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Parents are welcome to accompany their young children as well. This is an amazing opportunity for the young children of our collaborative to hear the Word of God proclaimed and then reflected upon in a format that upholds the sanctity of this portion of the Mass, yet simplifies the language and message so that our young children can celebrate the Eucharist with “full, conscious and active participation.” (Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy #14).
We are always looking for volunteers to help lead Children's Liturgy of the Word. No educational or catechetical experience necessary! Email Tom for more information.
We will gather outside (masked) on the steps of the church during the Liturgy of the Word. When the weather gets colder, we will reassess parent comfort about gathering indoors with the children.
