CLOWD - CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD

The Children's Liturgy of the Word is a wonderful opportunity for our children to be drawn into the living Word of God as it is proclaimed and preached to them in a simple language they can understand.  On each Sunday of the month (except the Fourth Sunday) at the 10:30 AM Mass, the children are invited to follow in procession to the St. Michael's Room for the readings, homily and prayers and are brought back to the church to re-join their families for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.  The children love this time together!  Join us!
