Childerns Liturgy

At St. Mary's Catholic Church, our Children's Liturgy program is a special ministry designed to make the Word of God more accessible and engaging for our youngest parishioners. This program provides children with a faith-filled experience tailored to their level of understanding, helping them to grow in their relationship with God in a nurturing and joyful environment. During the Children's Liturgy, which takes place during the Sunday 10:00 AM Mass, children are invited to a separate space where they can participate in a liturgy of the Word designed just for them. Our dedicated volunteers lead the children through readings, prayers, and activities that reflect the same themes as the adult liturgy, but in a way that is relatable and meaningful to them. This allows the children to experience the Mass in an engaging manner while their parents participate in the main service. {{Benefits of Children's Liturgy:}}

• Understanding: Children hear the scriptures in language they can understand.
• Engagement:Interactive activities and discussions help bring the Bible stories to life.
• Community: Children build friendships and a sense of belonging within their church community.
• Faith Formation: Early exposure to the teachings of the Church helps lay a strong foundation for lifelong faith.
