Children’s Liturgy of the Word Bulletins:

Sunday, October 6- 27thSunday in Ordinary Time

- Bulletin for 3-6 year olds: http://www.ourladyofthefields.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Childrens-Worship-Bulletin-for-3-6-year-olds10062024.pdf

- Bulletin for 7-9 year olds: http://www.ourladyofthefields.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Childrens-Worship-Bulletin-for-7-9-year-olds10062024.pdf

Children’s Liturgy of the Word will take place every Sunday during the 9:30am Mass. Children ages 4 to 7 years old will be called forth from the assembly to celebrate and reflect on the Sunday Scripture readings in an age appropriate way. The children are led through prayers, songs and readings that are adapted to their level of understanding. Attending Mass together is a part of being a Catholic Family, while Children’s Liturgy of the Word allows children to enter the celebration more fully by catering to their needs. Children return to the assembly in time for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. (All children under 4 years old must be accompanied by an adult.)

We are looking for prayer and music leaders to support Children’s Liturgy of the Word at the 9:30AM Mass. The commitment is once per month, or more if you would like to do so. Contact andrea@olfparish.com for more information and training.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word Videos:

During the pandemic, Heidi and Mark Witte began producing free 25 minute Children’s Liturgy videos every week. The inter-activeness of their program encourages children to participate, appeals to various learning styles, and helps young children understand Scripture and their faith more fully! You can access this free catechetical resource by visiting their YouTube Channel here or by searching for “Heidi Witte – Kids’ Liturgy” on YouTube. Their program also airs on CatholicTV each Sunday at 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST.
