  Children's Liturgy of the Word
  The Mass is the center of Catholic life, and this ministry provides an opportunity that is sensitive and geared to enable children to participate in the worship experience. The children are led from the 9:15 a.m. Sunday Liturgy to the Children's Chapel off the Narthex, where the readings from the Children's Lectionary are geared to their level of understanding. Adult presiders and prayer leaders facilitate.
