Childrens's Liturgy of the Word
Children's Liturgy takes place during the 10:45 a.m. Mass on Sundays and introduces children to both the structure and experience of liturgical worship (the Mass) to grow in the love and understanding of God. The Word of God is presented to the children at an age-appropiate level, along with an interactive homily. The children are called from the congregation to celebrate the Liturgy of the Word in the Chapel with a specially prepared teacher, and they return after the General Intercessions. If you are interested in volunteering and leading Children's Liturgy, contact the Parish Office at 843-875-5002.
