At our Sunday 10:30 AM Family Mass, the children of our parish are invited after the homily to come forward and gather in front of the sanctuary for a special Children’s Liturgy of the Word. The priest or deacon presents the Gospel message in a manner more specific to their age group through a hands-on and lively discussion. Once a month, the children from a specific grade in St. Mel’s Catholic Academy and St. Mel’s School of Religion are also invited to come together at the 10:30 AM liturgy where some of them share with the worshiping community their personal reflections on how they live out the message of that Sunday’s Gospel.
