This program is offered during the 10:15 Mass for children between the ages of 5 and 9 years old. Just before the Liturgy of the Word begins for the assembly, the children are invited to go with the weekly leaders from the Church to the Parish Hall (lower level). During this time, the volunteer teacher presents a liturgically age-appropriate experience for our young parishioners. The children learn about the same Scripture readings as the rest of the assembly. They are taught a simplified main message of the readings and are encouraged to share that message with their parents after Mass. The children return at the Preparation of the Gifts. Our 6th grade Confirmation candidates are given the opportunity to assist the weekly leaders as part of their Confirmation Service project so we welcome them as well. Contact Michele Gordon ([email protected]) if you are interested in volunteering.
