Sundays at 9:30am & 11:30am Masses
What is the Children’s Liturgy of the Word Program/ CLW?
- A great way for your child to learn more about Jesus and more about the Mass!
- The readings will be proclaimed and then explained at an age-appropriate level.
- Prayers of the Faithful will be offered, the children can share anyone they’d like to pray for.
- Crafts, songs, and/or biblical skits will be included based off the readings.
Who is invited to CLW?
- All children between the ages 3-8.
- We will be in the meeting rooms, away from parents for a bit, just be sure your child is aware of that.
- If your child is nervous at first, you are welcome to walk back with them.
- Children return to Mass before Communion.
