Children's Liturgy of the Word

The Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that fully conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy. Such participation by the Christian people as "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a redeemed people (1 Pet. 2:9; cf. 2:4-5), is their right and duty by reason of their baptism.
~from The Constitution On the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium...14

On Sunday's, during the 12:15 p.m. (English) and 2:15 p.m. (Spanish) Masses, we offer Children's Liturgy Of The Word (CLOW).  Just before the first reading, the children are excused to gather in one of our meeting rooms, with Catechists and volunteers, to hear the Sunday readings and recite prayers and songs of the faithful. The children receive an age-appropriate message on how the readings apply to them.

Adults and teens are invited to volunteer in this vibrant ministry for our parish children. Training and support will be provided. Contact our Minister of Religious Education, Nancy Gomez, for details.

Matthew 19:14 "But Jesus said, "let the children come to me, and do not hinder them: for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven".
