Children's Liturgy of the Word
Children are genuinely capable of hearing and absorbing God’s Word, prayers, and entering into short intervals of silence and reflection. Even preschool-aged children can learn to be active worshippers in church. Many simply need a child-friendly environment where they can practice the skills and rhythms of how the Catholic community worships together. Children's Liturgy of the Word can provide such an environment.
