JOYFUL LITURGY

Altar Servers
Altar servers help lead the assembly while assisting the Presider and other ministers during liturgy. Any member of the faithful who has received First Eucharist and is in 4th grade or older may train for this ministry. If interested, contact Sue Molchan.
 

Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLoW)

For the foreseeable future, we are suspending Children’s Liturgy of the Word until we can get enough adult ministers to offer this option for our children. Please consider joining this ministry so that we can again provide CLoW at each Mass. It is quite rewarding, and you will receive training and resource materials. Please contact Jennifer Gardiner for more information about becoming a CLoW minister.

CLoW provides children ages 3-7 the opportunity to celebrate liturgy where the Word of God is proclaimed and explained at their level of understanding. The CLoW leaders proclaim the Word to the gathered children, using the Lectionary for Masses with Children, and offer a brief interactive reflection.
