Holy Family’s Children’s Liturgy of the Word is in need of volunteers at many of their Masses. For children ages 4-7 who have not received their First Communion, Children’s Liturgy of the Word provides children with the readings and instruction that allows them to more deeply engage in scripture and the Mass. The children parallel what is happening in the Church but hear the Sunday readings from the Children’s Lectionary, discuss what the readings mean for them, and create their own prayers of the Faithful. In order to keep offering this ministry, Holy Family will need more volunteers at the following Sunday Masses: 8:30 am at St. Peter, 9:00 am at St. Mary (Sacred Heart), 10:00 am at Our Risen Savior, and 10:00 am at Holy Family. If you are interested in assisting, contact Trisha at the Parish Office at (920) 921-0580 ext. 503 or trishaz@hffdl.org.
At this time, Children’s Liturgy of the Word will begin at Our Risen Savior on Sunday, October 5 at the 10:00 am Mass and take place on the first Sunday of each month.
