CLW FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When do children leave the main assembly to participate in Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLW)?

Children enter the church with their families. They participate in the Opening Song, the Introductory Rite, the Penitential Rite, the Gloria and the Opening Prayer. When it is time to begin the Liturgy of the Word, the celebrant or deacon invites the children to participate in Children's Liturgy of the Word. The choir sings an appropriate song of sending. A CLW volunteer holds up the Children's Lectionary near the baptismal font. The children gather near the volunteer, who leads them to the courtyard rooms, where they experience the Liturgy of the Word.
