​What is Children's Liturgy of the Word?
Children ages 5 through 8 are dismissed before the Liturgy of the Word and gather to hear the Sunday Gospel reading in an age-appropriate format. Afterwards, the children return to Mass before the Liturgy of the Eucharist. In all, it is generally about twenty minutes. No registration is required for children to participate.

Adults who have a passion for sharing the Liturgy with children and can bring energy around the weekly theme of the Readings should consider volunteering for this ministry! We provide all the materials for the kids and a format of how the process works. We hope we can continue this great opportunity for our young people.
