FAMILIES
Children’s Liturgy of Word (CLW) is held during the 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., and 5:30 p.m. Sunday Masses for 20 minutes during Gospel time. The program is for potty-trained children age 4 to the 4th grade.
Children arrive with their parents to Mass, and after the opening prayer, they are called up to the altar. The priest dismisses them with two adult Catechists to another room to learn about the Gospel in a way that is suited for children. After Gospel time, the children return to finish Mass with their parents.
There is no CLW on weekends of National Holidays – Christmas, Easter Sunday, Independence Day, First Eucharists, Confirmation, etc.
NEW CLW CATECHISTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME
St. Isidore invites confirmed individuals, ages 16-100, to consider helping the parish as a Children’s Liturgy of the Word Catechist. This ministry involves leading children in worship using the readings of the day (approx. 20 mins) at the weekly Sunday, 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., or 5:30 p.m. Masses. Catechist volunteers choose the Sunday that fits their schedule using a special program to sign up. All lessons are planned for the Catechists before their scheduled Sunday assignment.
