The Children's Liturgy schedule will resume in September.

The Children's Liturgy of the Word is for children from Kindergarten through Fourth Grade. Usually it is held the first three weeks of the month from the middle of September through the first week in May. It is held in the Council Room during the 5:30 p.m. Mass on Saturday and the 12:00 noon Mass on Sunday After the opening prayer the children are invited to come to the altar. Then the priest gives the children his blessing and the Liturgy Leaders take them to the Council Room. The main goal of the Children's Liturgy of the Word is to help the children who participate to grow closer to God and His people. Therefore, we read and explain the Bible readings to them in words they understand. We also pray, read, sing, act out stories, and engage in other activities so that they will be able to use what they learn to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. After the Liturgy, the children return to Mass before the gifts are taken to the altar.

SJN staff and volunteers will attempt to update this site as often as possible.
Please advise us of any changes that may be required. Thank you and God Bless...John Silvestri
