Worship at St. Irenaeus

Litturgy of the word with children:

What is it? Where do they go?

Liturgy of the Word with children is first and foremost a worship

experience for children between the ages of 5 and 12. Children

gather with their families for the opening rites of mass and remain

with them until after the Opening Prayer when the celebrant invites

them to come forward. The children walk in procession to their own

worship space, (the north overflow room) with the one commissioned

by the Celebrant to be the presider.The children experience the first

reading, sing a pslam response and a gospel acclamation, listen to the

gospel reading and taking part in the homily, the creed and the general

intercessions on their own level. The children return to the main assembly

in time for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. There is no registration required to

participate; just come!

Curious? Come celebrate Childrens Liturgy of the Word with us any

Sunday at the 10 or 11:30 masses. Come and observe and see what were all about!
