Purpose: To provide a Liturgy of the Word experience for children ages 4 to 1st grade that mirrors the gospel proclaimed during Mass.
GROW: Be Prayerful
This program is a liturgical experience for children four years through first grade. Children are introduced to the tenets of our faith and the rituals of worship in the Roman Catholic Church through stories, songs, crafts, and group prayers.
The children are blessed and dismissed after Opening Prayer and return to the Worship Space after the Offertory. They are escorted by our CLW instructors and parent volunteers.
Volunteer Based Program
Parents are needed to assist in the dismissal as small group leaders. We are asking parents to volunteer by signing up for 4 Masses this summer. No preparation is required. Volunteer opportunities are provided after registration is complete.
