Children's Liturgy of the Word

Children’s Liturgy of the Word

We warmly invite our youngest members of the parish to join us every Sunday at the 10:30 am. Mass to participate in Children’s Liturgy of the Word. Parents and caregivers are welcome to attend and participate as well. Before the onset of the Liturgy of the Word, all interested children gather with their leaders and assistants and proceed to our newly appointed Ava Maria Children’s Chapel. Weekly liturgies consist of age-appropriate readings, responses, reflections, and various hands-on activities to reinforce the Sunday Gospel message. These liturgies are interactive guided by adult instruction and incorporate peer learning. Additionally, all leaders have backgrounds in catechesis. Children then return to their families before the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

 All children from the age of three and up are welcome to attend. Older siblings who are interested in assisting are encouraged and appreciated. Every liturgy is supervised by at least two adults. No registration is necessary.

**Masks are optional**
