Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLW) is an age-appropriate Liturgy of the Word offered for children 4 years old through 1st grade on Sunday at the 9 & 11 AM Masses from September through May. No pre-registration is necessary. All children in this age group are welcome and encouraged to attend. Just before the Liturgy of the Word begins for the assembly, children are invited to go with the weekly leaders from the church to the Upper Room. During this special time, the children are led through prayers, songs and readings. They are taught a simplified main message of the Sunday readings and are encouraged to share that message with their parents after Mass. The children are given materials to take home with them to reinforce the message of the Gospel. They rejoin the assembly for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
