The 9:30 Sunday liturgies offer an opportunity for children to hear the readings and prayers of the Mass in words that are familiar to them. The Children’s Liturgy of the Word is designed for children ages 3 through early primary grades.
Young children and their catechists have a great time together sharing prayer and reflection on the Sunday readings. The experience created at the Children’s Liturgy parallels that of their parents, older siblings and all the faithful worshipping at Mass each week. Children are blessed by the priest before the First Reading, walk together downstairs to the Children’s Liturgy chapel space, and return upstairs to their families later in the Mass. The reunion of families in time for the consecration and Communion is a sign of the union of the Church in this holy sacrament.
Volunteers are needed as catechists for this important ministry. Training and materials are provided. Please prayerfully consider this opportunity to guide our little ones. For more information, or to volunteer as a catechist, contact Albert Ferolie at 773-283-9428 or albertferolie@ferolielaw.com.
