Please click here to view Mrs. Gemma Fasani's lesson for our children on Ascencion Sunday, May 24.

Children's Liturgy of the Word is a time of prayer and reflection on God's Word presented in child-friendly language and rituals. All children ages 4 years and older are invited to Children's Liturgy of the Word at our weekly 9am and 11am Masses. No registration is necessary.

The celebrant or deacon invites the children to join him in front of the altar just before the Liturgy of the Word begins, blesses them and sends them with a Catechist who leads them in prayer and the Gospel in age appropriate instruction. The children hear the Scripture reading of the day in the chapel as the rest of the assembly hears the readings, Gospel and homily in the church. The children are then directed back to their families during the offertory.

If you wish to volunteer for or know more about this most rewarding ministry, please notify Gemma Fasani at gemma@stmaxchurch.org or call the Faith Formation office at 818-991-3915 ext. 110.
