Children's Liturgy of the Word is a gathering of children assembled to listen to God's word and ponder its meaning in a way suited to their abilities and their age. The children are dismissed immediately before the first reading at Mass and will go to the Cafeteria where they will be led in their reflections by Mrs. Emily Urban. They hear readings from the Old testament, a Psalm, the New testament, and the Gospel with an explanation designed just for them. At the conclusion of CLOW, the children rejoin their parents for the entire assembly's celebration of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. All children in grades 1 - 4 are invited to participate.
