Liturgy of the
Word for Children
Takes place during the 10:00 am Mass from September until May. Children in grades 1 through 4 are the focus of this
celebration of the Word of God. Children of those ages (6 through
11) should be participating in the celebration of the Mass every
Sunday, but often the Readings and the homily are beyond their
understanding. The Directory for Masses with Children, one
of the post Vatican II documents on the Liturgy, encourages the
practice of calling children from the assembly and taking them to a
suitable place to celebrate the Word of God on their own level. The
children are called forth after the Opening Prayer and return to
their families after the Prayer of the Faithful. All children of
the parish who are of these ages are welcome to participate in the
Liturgy of the Word for Children at this Mass each Sunday.
