OUR LADY OF LORETTO PARISH
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
GRADES 1-6



LITURGY OF THE WORD FOR CHILDREN

At the 10AM Mass, from October through 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 Our Lady of Loretto Meditation Chapel, where we share the readings and the Gospel from the Children's Lectionary. We recite the Children's Creed and the children make their own petitions (Prayers of the Faithful). Children return to their families for Liturgy of the Eucharist.
