Children’s Liturgy of the Word is a part of the Catholic Mass where children are invited to hear and reflect on the Scripture readings in a way that is age-appropriate. It typically takes place during the Liturgy of the Word (after the opening prayers), when children are dismissed to a separate space with adult leaders who guide them through simplified readings, prayers, and discussions. The goal is to help children understand and participate more fully in the message of the Gospel. Afterward, they return to the main congregation for the remainder of the Mass.

Become a Leader in This Ministry

If a young person wants to volunteer for the Children’s Liturgy of the Word, their responsibility includes arriving at 12:50 PM and staying until 2:15 PM (during the 1:00 PM Spanish Mass).

Commitment is key: be present, dependable, and punctual. You’ll work closely with other volunteers and parish staff to prepare activities and crafts. Most importantly, you’ll build relationships with the children, offering support and encouragement as they grow in their faith.

Together, let’s make a lasting impact on the lives of young Catholics!
