Children have an amazing capacity for prayer and faith. We must become like children to enter Heaven after all! (Matthew 18:2-4)
Children's Liturgy of the Word is an offering for 4-7 year olds to hear the Word of God proclaimed in a way that they can understand. Children's Liturgy of the Word is held about once a month at the 9 AM Sunday Mass. All Children are Welcome!

Returning in the Fall!
Join the Children’s Liturgy Team and help the children enter into prayer, leading them to an encounter with Our Lord! Your time and talents are appreciated and a gift to the children!
