...will officially start as of Sunday, September 17th!

CLOW takes place during the 10:00 AM Sunday Mass each week (except for five Sundays - Christmas, Easter, First Communion, Wedding Anniversary and Festival Weekend). CLOW is a wonderful opportunity during Sunday Mass for our 1st through 4th Grade parishioners to experience the Liturgy of the Word in a way that is appropriate to their age group at the same time that our other parishioners are celebrating the Liturgy of the Word in our church space. CLOW takes place downstairs in the Church Hall.

When Opening Prayer at the 10:00 AM Mass is finished, the celebrant invites the children forward and, after a special blessing, the children process together downstairs to the Church Hall.

Each week they are led by a group of dedicated adult and high school volunteers in hearing the Scripture Readings and a reflection, and participating in praying the Creed and the General Intercessions. The children then return to their families during the Offertory of the Mass.

Children younger than the 1st Grade are welcome to join the other children for CLOW, but they must be accompanied by a parent. CLOW does not take the place of Mass, it IS part of the Mass, and enables them to participate in the Mass more fully. The coordinator for this program is Mrs. Carole Ann Yeazell (385-5163). There is no cost or Registration Form.
