Elementary Faith Formation
Liturgy of the Word for Children During mass, all children ages 6-12 will be invited into the church basement for the Liturgy of the Word presented in a separate environment appropriate for children to interact with the scripture of the weekend. In order for this very valuable ministry to happen, we are in need of volunteers to lead the children. If you feel you have gifts in this area and would like more information, please contact Jennifer Schneider at Faith Formation office.
