Children's Liturgy of the Word Begins Sunday, August 26


The Children’s Liturgy of the Word begins Sunday, August 26 at the 8:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Masses (and will run every Sunday, except May 5, through June 30)

The Children’s Liturgy of the Word is designed for children in grades K-3. At the time of the scripture readings in church, Father calls the children forward to the altar.
The children then follow the adult leaders to the chapel, located in the basement of the church. In the chapel, the children hear the readings proclaimed and explained to them at a child’s level. At the time of the offertory, the children are brought back up to church and return to their parents. No pre-registration is necessary.

 Also, thank you to Sara Huige for her years of service and welcome to Joan Desjarlais, our new Children’s Liturgy of the Word coordinator.

To volunteer or for more information on the Children’s Liturgy of the Word, please contact Joan Desjarlais at jdesjarlais106@yahoo.com or email stfreled@stfrancisa2.org or call the RE office at 821-2130.
