Children's Liturgy of the Word |
In order to provide a more age-appropriate experience of the Sunday readings and homily, our 4, 5 and 6 year-old children are dismissed after the Opening Prayer at the 9:30 Mass. The catechists, Virtus trained and properly fingerprinted, accompany the children to the parish hall. A children’s translation of the readings is read, the story is discussed, and the children create an artistic representation of what they have learned. Using walkie-talkies, the ushers inform the catechists when the collection is started so the children can be returned to the church for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. God-willing, catechists will be trained to provide this ministry to our children who attend the 12:00 noon Mass, also. The start of this second dismissal program is targeted for September 2010. |
