<\/strong>Liturgy of the Word for Children is a program in which the Sunday scripture readings are proclaimed and explained on a level appropriate to children in grades K-3 at the 11:00 am Sunday Mass. \u00a0Any child in this age group may participate \u2013 no registration is necessary.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>The children gather with their leaders in the front of the altar after the Opening Prayer and are sent forth by the presider. They process to the Library. \u00a0After a brief Welcome and Opening Prayer, they listen to the First Reading proclaimed from the Children\u2019s Lectionary. They are then led in reading a Psalm and Gospel Acclamation. Next, the Gospel is proclaimed by one of the adult leaders.\u00a0 An age-appropriate reflection on the Word is shared by the leader through stories, discussions, or pictures \u2013 whatever the leader finds most appropriate to conveying the meaning of the scriptures. The children are then invited to share their own thoughts and ideas. Following this, the children profess a simple Act of Faith, pray their Prayers of Intercession, and finally return to their families at the time of the Presentation of the Gifts.
