Liturgy of the Word with Children The Church brings a rich and prayerful liturgical experience for young people through the ``Liturgy of the Word with Children.`` Recognizing each child's innate spiritual life, it helps the child to continue to grow and be nurtured in his/her relationship with God. It is always to be kept in mind, that this is not a time of religious instruction, but a time of prayer. It is the prayer of bringing the Word into children`s hearts and helping them relate it to their lives. At St. Edmund's, the Liturgy of the Word with Children (LWC) is offered to the children, kindergarten (age 4 included) through Grade 6, at all the weekend Masses from September to May. LWC provides the opportunity for the children to:
The children's celebration follows the same, yet adapted structure as the Liturgy of the Word for those gathered in church. The guidelines from the ``Directory For Masses With Children`` does allow for some elements to be optional. The Gospel, however, is never eliminated. Outline of LWC
Jesus said, `Do not keep the children from me…let them come.' It is a joy to welcome our parish children (visitors also) each week as they come to be nourished by God's love and life! If you would like more information or have questions/comments regarding this children's ministry, please contact Sharon Séguin at 514-695-7100.
