Children's Liturgy of the Word brings the Good News to children through prayer, song and activities. This ministry leads a child-centered celebration of the Liturgy of the Word for children ages five and up. It provides children the opportunity to discuss and experience the Gospel in an age-appropriate, smaller group setting to better help them apply it to their daily lives. The CLOW year runs from September through May at the 9:30 a.m. liturgy, excluding Family Masses. CLOW leaders serve approximately every other week. Adult leaders also meet for two short planning meetings along with two spiritual reflection evenings (Advent and Lent) to better prepare them. All adults are welcome to join and all necessary training is provided.
