Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLOW)

WHO: The Gospel adapted for Ages 5 to 4th grade (younger children welcome when accompanied by an adult).

WHEN: 10:30 am Mass on Sundays during the school year. 

WHERE: Carroll Center (the gym). 

HOW: At the beginning of mass, the priest invites interested children to celebrate the Children's Liturgy of the Word.  They begin by walking to the Music Room together.

WHAT: When we "Celebrate!" Children's Liturgy of the Word, children & leaders pray and sing using age-appropriate language in a very interactive way:

Welcome & Introduction
Gloria
** Gospel & Discussion of Gospel **
Creed
Prayers of the Faithful
Closing Prayer
Return to church during the Preparation of Gifts

Jesus told his followers to love God like the little children do. Then Jesus took the children in his arms and blessed them. Come and see how children love God & help them understand Jesus message.

We Need More Volunteers!

Wonderful books & aids make preparation easy. Our volunteers personally learn a lot from the experience! If you're interested in seeing what we do or helping, please visit us in action or call the Liturgy office at x6013.

CLOW Leaders are needed to prepare and present the Word and activities for children. They coordinate the lesson with music (provided by a music minister).

Additionally, Good strong volunteers are needed to set up and clean up for each Mass. The time commitment is approximately 45 minutes.
