Children's
Liturgy of the Word
Children's Liturgy of the Word is an opportunity for children to
experience God's Word at an age-appropriate level while their parents
attend Mass. During the 8:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Masses, children are
dismissed after the opening prayer for Children's Liturgy of the Word
and will return to join their families for the celebration of the
Eucharist. The special liturgy is intended for children grades 1-5.
Registration is not required for this year-round program. We can use
parents' help in continuing to make this program a success! Parents
serve as ministers, a rewarding position that allows them to share the
Word with our children. We also offer opportunities for youth. Please
contact us to find out more about the liturgy and how you can help.

opportunity for children grades 3-5 to deepen their knowledge of the

Liturgy, sacraments, the saints and Holy Scripture. Retreat Days help to

games, videos, workshops and prayer. We invite your children to join us
twice a month on Wednesday afternoons from 4:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. (dinner

your help! You are welcome to participate in Retreat Days as
