Adult and teen members guide our 4-9 year-old parishioners through a Liturgy of the Word program designed for their ages by celebrating with them in the Chapel during the 9:30 Mass on Sundays. Open to all adult and teen parishioners at any time of the year.
Membership:
Adult parishioners are welcome to join our ministry at any time of the year. The CLOW team will train on program-specific information as new ministers join.
If any musically inclined ministers are interested, they are also welcome to share their talents with the children.
Ministers must have safe environment and security clearances through the archdiocese and attend a Protecting God’s Children workshop. Security clearance forms are available at the Parish Services Office.
Ministry meetings are generally held every 6 months in an informal setting.For additional information, or if you are interested in joining this ministry, please fill out the ministry interest form on this page.

You may be a leader or co-leader, which means reading the readings and/or offering a reflection on them and leading the rest of the celebration for the children.
You may shepherd the children during CLOW, which means guiding them to and from the Chapel and helping maintain a safe, attentive environment during the celebration.
