CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD (CLOW)
Children's Liturgy of the Word begins this weekend! Any child aged preschool through first grade is invited to join catechists during the Liturgy of the Word at the 8:30 or 10:30 Mass this weekend. Children will listen to the Gospel reading, pray, do an activity, learn a bit more about Mass and return to parents after the homily. If your child is a little hesitant, parents are welcome to come along. Children's Liturgy of the Word is available most Sundays now through May. No registration is needed.
