CHILDREN'S LITURGY

The 10:30 AM Family Mass presents the Children’s Liturgy of the Word for children ages 4-9.

Children's Dismissal
The children are dismissed after the opening prayer of the Mass and proceed to the Pre-3 classroom where they hear the same readings the congregation hears, proclaimed at a level the children are able to understand. Readings are presented along with special activities–using stories, illustrations and arts and crafts–to help them experience God more clearly in their young lives. The children then rejoin their parents and the Parish community in the Church for the Liturgy of the Eucharist after the Prayers of the Faithful. 

Coffee, Donuts and Playtime
Coffee, donuts and hot chocolate are served after the 10:30 AM Mass. Weather permitting, the gathering is held on the playground; if not, in the hallway/classroom. 

Our Catechists use the following resources for Children's Liturgy each Sunday. Please feel free to review the materials and ask your child what they learned about each week.

CHILDREN'S LITURGY

Another fun morning for the kids at the Children's Liturgy this past Sunday!

Our Children’s Liturgy leader, Lisa Estrada, led our little Parishioners in a reflection on how to “love your neighbor as yourself.” A student volunteered to read the First Reading from Leviticus and the group talked about God’s words to Moses.

The kids then made hearts for those who they may have not shown the golden rule to in the past; many of the hearts went to their siblings!

Donuts and coffee were provided by the Howarth Family, while the children played outside on the playground on a gorgeous 52 degree morning!
