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.

Children's Liturgy of the Word is primarily about prayer and worship. It is not a time for catechesis activities, snacks, or games.
