The Children’s Liturgy of the Word provides an opportunity for the young people of our parish to enhance the formation of their faith. During the 9:00 a.m. Mass on Sundays from late September through mid-May, children pre-school through grade 5 are invited to join adult volunteers to experience the Gospel in a child-friendly format and environment. The children begin Mass with their families in the church and then are dismissed prior to the first reading to join their group leader. They return to their families after the homily.

The Seeds program is designed for ages 3–5 and introduces preschoolers to Jesus’ love for them. Seeds establishes a ritual and enables children to develop a warm and loving first memory of the exercise of their faith.

Good News, for children in Kindergarten through grade 4, engages youngsters in discussion and group activities designed to enhance their understanding of the Gospel message. Both the Seeds and Good News groups are exposed to prayers, songs, readings and an activity or discussion. Children also hear the Gospel each week in an age-appropriate format.

Adult volunteers find gratification in offering an example of their faith to the children. Confirmation candidates, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and junior high and high school students are welcome to help and to earn service hours.
