Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) offers an opportunity for children to hear the readings and prayers of the Sunday Mass in words that are familiar to them. CLOW is designed for children ages 3 through seven. Young children and their catechists have a great time together sharing prayer and reflection on the Sunday readings.
The experience created at the CLOW parallels that of all the faithful worshiping at Mass each week. Children are blessed by the priest before the First Reading, walk together to the Children’s Liturgy space, and return to their families later in the Mass. The reunion of families in time for the consecration and Communion is a sign of the union of the Church in this holy sacrament.
