7th Grade Volunteers Needed |
The Parish is looking for 7th grade student volunteers to help with Children's Liturgy on Sunday.
This service will be during the Sunday 9 AM Mass and will involve coordinating the young children, ages 4-8, who are in Mass to process from the Church to the Ministry Building during the Liturgy of the Word. Parent volunteers will take the lead and the students will assist them and may eventually take on leadership roles.
During the 20 minute or so gathering in the Ministry Building, we will proclaim the readings and then have a short talk with discussion led by adults. There will be children’s activities as well. We will return to the church together just prior to the start of the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
We will meet in the Sacristy at 8:45 every Sunday. If your 7th grade student is interested, they can contact Michael Grace at mgrace@stphiliptheapostle.org.
