Saint Bridget Catholic Church
Children's Liturgy of the Word
What is Children’s Liturgy of the Word?
Children’s Liturgy of the Word takes place at the Sunday 9am Mass, during the Liturgy of the Word. After the Introductory Rites, the priest will call the children to the front of the church for a blessing and dismissal. Volunteers then lead the kids downstairs to the Parish Hall, where we offer a kid-friendly version of the Liturgy of the Word, homily, and prayers. The kids are then brought back to Mass during the Offertory Hymn, so they can be with their families during the Eucharist.
No pre-registration is necessary. Children’s Liturgy of the Word is only for children in Junior Kindergarten through early Second Grade; children younger than four should remain with their parents.
