From October until Pentecost Sunday, at the 9:00 and 10:15 Sunday Mass, a Liturgy of the Word is is available for all children from Kindergarten through fourth grade. The children leave the Church in a group to the Shrine Church Hall. Individual teachers assist the children in understanding the Scripture reading using crafts and music. As the Offertory of the Mass begins, the children return to Church in a group, present the gifts at the Altar and rejoin their families to celebrate the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Kathy McMahon coordinates the efforts of the teacher and provides the leadership that makes the program successful.
