Bringing the Liturgy to Children
Who We Are
The Liturgy of the Word with Children (LOWC) Ministry helps children encounter Christ through the proclamation and reflection of God's Word in a way that is engaging, age-appropriate, and rooted in the Church's liturgy. By celebrating the Liturgy of the Word at their level of understanding, we nurture their faith and help them grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Our Mission
To proclaim God's Word to children in an age-appropriate and meaningful way, helping them grow in faith, understand the liturgy, and respond to God's love in their daily lives.
What We Do
- Celebrate the Liturgy of the Word with children during the 11:00am Sunday Mass.
- Proclaim and break open the Sunday Scriptures through storytelling, discussion, prayer, and interactive activities.
- Help children understand God's love, the life and teachings of Jesus, and the Church's liturgical seasons.
- Plan and conduct children's programmes for key liturgical seasons and parish celebrations, such as Advent, Christmas, and Children's Day.
- Gather regularly for preparation, formation, and fellowship as a ministry.
Who Can Join
Adults, parents, and teenagers with a love for children and a desire to share God's Word are warmly invited to serve in this ministry. Formation, resources, and support are provided to equip volunteers in accompanying children on their faith journey.
