Ministers of the Liturgy
of the Word For Children:
During the 5:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday and the 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. Masses
on Sunday, children ages 6-12 are asked to join an adult minister in the
daily chapel before the liturgy of the Word. The readings for the
day are then presented to the children at their level of understanding.
This is accomplished through song, storytelling and drama. At the
conclusion of the Liturgy of the Word, children return to the assembly for
the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
Ushers:
Parishioners who welcome the community, assist with seating and direct the
flow of the congregation during Eucharist.
