The primary objective of the Children’s Liturgy of the Word is to introduce young children to the basics of the faith through participation in the Mass with a special time for them to hear an explanation of the Scriptures for the day. The children also sing a song, participate in an activity and finish with a craft before returning to Mass with their parents. The focus is on children age three to five although not exclusively. Parishioners who wish to participate in this program, may contact the following:
