KidsLIT (Children’s Liturgy of the Word)
Mission
KidsLIT (Children’s Liturgy of the Word) is a wonderful way to Share God’s Word and to form our children of the future. We are committed to leading the children of St. Joan of Arc parish in a quality liturgical experience. We celebrate and facilitate the proclamation of the Scripture into our children’s life.
The Purpose of Children’s Liturgy
KidsLIT (Children’s Liturgy of the Word) is a fantastic way for children to worship the Lord with their peers. KidsLIT is designed to nourish and guide their spiritual growth. This program has been a very successful way for children to understand the readings and Gospel teachings. The children also take part in singing, Profession of Faith, Prayers of the Faithful, and group discussion on the weekly Gospel. This is a fun way to learn and praise God.
When is KidsLIT
KidsLIT (Children’s Liturgy of the Word) goes from September through June. Monthly schedule is 9am mass the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month and 1030am 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sundays of the month. We are off on the 5th Sunday of each month, in addition to Easter & Mother’s day.
Before the 1st Reading is read the children are invited to come forward and are led into Pedata Hall. The children will rejoin their family in church during the Offertory of Mass.(All adults supervising are required to have Virtus training and Finger-Printing, as directed by the diocese.)
