Liturgy of the Word for Children
We need your help. This is a liturgical ministry for young
children attending mass. Adults and high school teens lead the children in
celebrating the Liturgy of the Word (portion of mass) in the conference room
using the Lectionary for Masses with Children and giving a scripture reflection.
It is necessary to have at least 2 adults present. We need leaders
and we also need subs. Training and
resources will be provided. Contact Mary Montour at 777-4322 ext. 120 or
Mary Montour. Please
prayerfully consider participating in this rewarding ministry.
Purpose of Liturgy of the Word for Children
Liturgy of the Word for Children is a ministry at St. Max to support the
full, conscious and active participation of children in the mass. This ministry
is offered at all Sunday (Saturday 4:30) liturgies. Liturgy of the Word for Children is prepared to meet
the needs of children in grades K through 2. If you have more questions or would
like to volunteer for this very valuable ministry please contact coordinator
Mike Barnett or
Mary Montour, Director of Faith
Formation at 777-4322 ext. 120.
Emergency Procedure for Liturgy of the Word for Children
In case of an emergency during mass, we ask all parents of children attending
Liturgy of the Word for Children to follow the directions of the presider and
ushers in exiting the church quickly, orderly and calmly. Do not go to the
Chapel to find your child. This will cause congestion and confusion
compromising the safety of the children and their adult volunteer ministers.
Volunteer ministers will follow the safety directions for exiting the Chapel
with the children. The volunteer ministers will lead the children to the
northeastern corner of the St. Max parking lot. Parents and guardians once
outside safely, please go the northeastern corner of the parking lot to meet
your child. Please do not remove your child from the designated outside safety
area without informing the adults who are caring for your child. They will have
you record and sign out that you are taking your child from the designated
safety area.
