Children's Liturgy of the Word
Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLW) is an age-appropriate Liturgy of the Word offered for grades kindergarten through 3rd graders at the 10:30 a.m. Mass. No pre-registration is necessary. All children are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Just before the Liturgy of the Word begins at Mass, Father Flach invites the children to go with the weekly leaders to the children's liturgy area. During this special time, the volunteer teacher will lead the children through prayers, songs and readings. The children will learn about the same Scripture readings as the rest of the congregation. They are taught a simplified version of the main message from the readings and are encouraged to share it with their parents after Mass.
Volunteers are needed to teach lessons each week, as well as to assist with the supervision of the children. This is a great opportunity for adults and middle/high school youth to help these eager youngsters learn the Word of the Lord.
