Children's Liturgy of the Word is offered every Sunday from January through Palm Sunday at the 9 AM Masses. Before the Liturgy of the Word, children ages 3-5 will be called to the altar for a special blessing from the priest before they follow their teachers to a classroom to hear the Gospel in an age appropriate setting. They will participate in activities to support the theme of the Gospel and to help bring the message home. Teachers will return the children to the Mass during the offertory song.
