Children's Liturgy of the Word

Contact:  Judy Van Riper  (914-302-6324)

The 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month, September through June, are designated to
celebrate Children’s Liturgy of the Word at the 9:30 AM Mass.  Before the readings begin the celebrant calls the children present, ages three to seven, to gather for a blessing. They then
walk to the Chapel where, after opening prayers the Gospel is read and explained in
words they can understand. The use of puppets and songs are also part of the instruction.
Parents may accompany the children.  Many parents have been receptive and have commented positively with gratitude for this most vital religious educational tool for their family and the members of our parish community.

Note:  Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, the Liturgy of the Word for Children will be conducted once a month at the 9:30am Family Mass until furture notice.  We will utilize the auditorium, rather than the chapel, to permit adequate social distancing. Please see the bulletin for announcements.
