"Have no anxiety at all, but everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God." -Philippians 4:6

Children's Liturgy of the Word

What We Do: Celebrate the Word of God with our parish children during the first half of Mass with age appropriate materials. We enrich children's faith by using prayers, songs and questions to help interpret and better understand the teachings in the 1st reading and the Gospel.
Whom We Serve: Little Church (Children age 3-5); Liturgy of the Word (Children age 6 and up)
Training: A new volunteer will observe and assist another Liturgist for two liturgies (or more if desired). As a leader you are provided a Leaders Guide and Planning Guide to assist you in preparing for and facilitating your liturgy. These guides are easy to follow and lay it all out for you! Volunteers must also complete a Virtus class and be approved in order to work with children.
Time Commitment: Liturgists facilitate (their preferential Mass time) two consecutive Sundays every 2 or 3 months and each Liturgy last about 20 minutes.
