The Being Catholic Program is for anyone interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith. Whether you have grown up Catholic and want to dive deeper or you are exploring your faith for the first time, you are most welcome to join us on this journey of faith and learning! We will tentatively meet once a week to learn what it means to be Catholic. We will discuss topics such as the Creed, liturgy & sacraments, Christian morality and prayer.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word at Our Lady of the Lake Church is alive and well, however, it is still living in the hearts of your CLOW Team. As our Church ministries slowly begin to re-open, we too are waiting for the Archdiocese of Seattle to give us the “green light” to safely bring the children of our parish community back into the Chapel to “break open the word of God at their age-appropriate level” during the Mass.

In a meeting with Father Tim and Kendra Baker, the current Covid safety guidelines for Children’s Liturgy of the Word were shared and plans for moving forward with CLOW were discussed. When we are allowed by the Archdiocese to welcome the children back into this special ministry, we will let you know via our different communication vehicles. The health of your child/children is of utmost importance to us all. Therefore, once the Chapel is “open” for Children’s Liturgy of the Word, we will be practicing masking, physical distancing, hand hygiene, and some program planning modifications.

We will continue to hold your families in our hearts and prayers over the next few months.

Stay healthy and happy,

Patty Corum (CLOW Coordinator)
