Children’s Church has continued to be very popular this year and after a short break during the Christmas holidays will resume in January. This is an opportunity for young children to participate in a special liturgical experience created just for them.
*All children in grades K – 3 are invited to participate at 11:30 Mass on Sundays.
*The children come to Mass and sit with their families at the beginning of Mass.
*They are then called forward and process with the adult team to the vestibule.
*For the readings and homily, the children hear the same scripture as the older participants, but the language is on their level.
*Usually a question and answer period follows the Gospel reading.
*After a short closing prayer the children return to their families during the offertory to celebrate Mass together.
The dates for 2019 are:
January 13 & 27 ● February 10 & 24
March 10, 17 & 31 ● April 7
We hope that your children will participate in this on a regular basis. Since we understand that 11:30 Mass may not be the most convenient time for your family EVERY week, please know that participation in this program does not require a weekly commitment to this particular Mass. We are always looking for adult volunteers to help with this ministry. If this is something that might be of interest to you, please contact the Religious Ed office.
