Children's Liturgy Needs Volunteers |
if you are interested in Volunteering for Children’s Liturgy. The Mission of Children’s Liturgy is “Mass is for All.” This ministry provides the school-age (ages 5-12) children of our parish the opportunity to celebrate the Liturgy in their own language, and in doing so to express and explore God’s unconditional love. Children’s Liturgy is at the 9am Family Mass every Sunday from Sept.-June. The children greatly value this ministry, so we need your help to keep it going.
- We need approximately 3 Volunteers every Sunday at the 9am Family Mass. The Volunteers need to have all the needed Volunteer Requirements met to Volunteer with Kids on Campus: Virtus Trained, background checked & fingerprinted. We will hold a quick training before 9am mass in the next couple of weeks. The best way to train is to sign up to Support the Leader a couple Sundays.
- If you have an older child that loves helping little kids, please also reach out because there is an opportunity for them to help on Sundays as well.
