Children's Liturgy Of The Word

Proclaiming and Explaining the Scripture for Young Children


Children’s Liturgy of the Word is a program for children PreK through 2nd grade (before they make their First Communion) in which the Sunday scripture readings are proclaimed and explained on a level the children can understand and enjoy. Children’s Liturgy of the Word takes place most Sundays at the 10:00 a.m. Mass at Sacred Heart Church from September through May.

HERE'S WHAT CHILDREN CAN EXPECT
  1. Immediately following the opening prayer, the celebrant invites all the children to come forward for a blessing, and then the adult leaders (and aides) guide them to the Chapel in the parish office.
  2. After a brief welcome, they listen to the First Reading proclaimed from the Children’s Lectionary (provided). Next, the Gospel is proclaimed by the adult leader. An age-appropriate reflection on the Word is shared by the leader through stories, discussions, a song, or pictures—whatever the leader finds most appropriate to convey the meaning of the scriptures.
  3. The children are then invited to share their thoughts and ideas, along with their prayer intentions.
  4. The children return to the church with their leader after the Prayers of the Faithful to celebrate the Liturgy of the Eucharist with the entire community.
