Children's Liturgy of the Word
What is it?
It is an adaptation of the adult Liturgy of the Word suited to the age and stage of development of children.
What happens?
Children and leaders of the Word are called forward by the priest.
The leader is commissioned to receive the Good News and share it with the children entrusted to your care by the priest.
The children receive a blessing from the priest
The group forms a procession led by the LIGHT and the WORD, and proceeds to a nearby room.
The children gather around the prayer focus, are welcomed and make the Sign of the Cross.
The Gospel Acclamation is spoken or sung.
