Children's Liturgy of the Word Volunteer Needed
A volunteer to serve one Sunday a month during your regular Mass time as a Catechist for Children's Liturgy of the Word is needed! Two Catechists take the children, ages 4-7, to the chapel after the Opening Prayer to present and discuss that Sunday's Readings, especially the Gospel. The Catechist materials lead the Catechist through the presentation. It is a beautiful way to engage young children in the Gospel message! October start date will depend upon gathering enough volunteers. 24 are needed to present Children's Liturgy at all the Masses once a month. Please contact Judi Wilkinson at [email protected] if interested.  
Training meeting September 26, 6:30 pm. Location TBA
