CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD (CLW)
What is Children's Liturgy of the Word?
Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLW) is a program that invites school-aged children (kindergarten through grade 5) to leave the larger parish assembly during Mass to celebrate a concurrent Liturgy of the Word. The children return to the main parish assembly for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The children experience the same readings and rituals as the larger parish assembly, but use a special children's lectionary with a homily experience geared for their age group.
At what Masses is CLW held?
CLW is held during the school year at the 10:00 AM and noon Masses. Occasionally, there will be no CLW, most often when something special (e.g., the Passion, First Communion) is taking place during the Mass that we do not want children to miss. You can download the brochure for a full calendar.
