Job Description
This relatively new and innovative program presents an opportunity for children in grades 1 through 6 to celebrate the Liturgy of the Word in a format designed for them. Held through the academic year during the 9:30am Mass on Sundays, members of the parish community lead the children to the parish center for readings, song and spiritual reflection. Coordinators are responsible for making reminder calls to all of the other volunteers that are assigned to their week, setting up and breaking down the worship space, and being present for the whole liturgy on that Sunday.
Location
