The Children's
Liturgy volunteers present the Word of God in simple terms that help the
children feel connected to the Church.
Each volunteer is given the material
they will need to effectively present the week's readings. This is
your time with the children. You have the freedom to be as creative
with the material as you want. You also have the great resource of
the other volunteers who have been doing this ministry as well as help
from your Ministry coordinator if you ever need it. It is so
important that our children, YOUR children, see you sharing your faith.
Volunteering with the children will deepen your own faith in ways you
never expected.
Current Volunteers:
Mike Hausladen, Arsul DeJesus,
Kristen Palazolli, Dana Sheridan and Marie Koch.
From Arsul DeJesus (Sunday 11:00
liturgist)
When I was growing up in the Philippines, we were fortunate to be part of
a vibrant parish/faith community. One of the things that our pastor
emphasized was youth education and participation in parish activities.
We were part of every major Parish activity and had an active part in
Sunday masses. We had summer retreats, bible studies, church choir,
Passion plays, Easter plays, Christmas plays, and Children's liturgy.
My experiences made a great impact on me and inspired me to maintain that
kind of church involvement. I love kids and I love teaching and I
thought, what better way to help the parish by doing something that I love
to do. From
Dana Sheridan (Sunday 11:00 liturgist)
I feel very strongly that it is important for our children to be able to
hear the Word of God in a language and in such a way that they can
understand. Since I feel the Children's Liturgy program teaches our
children in just that way, I am happy to help facilitate and help "make it
happen". I enjoy going to Children's Liturgy as it truly helps to
deepen my faith. The study guides have taught me wonderful ways to
show the children how they can live as Jesus taught us. Each one of
the Children's Liturgy helpers has their own wonderful way of teaching the
children and it is fun to be a part of it all!
