LITURGY OF THE WORD FOR CHILDREN

At the 10AM Mass, from mid-September through mid-May, children in Grades K-4 are encouraged to participate in an age-appropriate liturgy which leads them to full, conscious, active participation in the regular Sunday assembly. After the opening prayer, our catechists lead the children to sacred space, the OLL Meditation Chapel, where we share the readings and the Gospel from the Children's Lectionary. We recite the Children's Creed & the children make their own petitions (Prayers of the Faithful). Children return to their families
for Liturgy of the Eucharist.
