Children's Liturgy of the Word is a wonderful opportunity for children to hear God's Word during Mass. Children are invited to process out and head to the reception room in the church when the readings begin and return when the gifts are brought up. They will listen to the same readings that the adults are hearing, but at an age appropriate level.
We need more adult volunteers to participate in this ministry. Please click the button below to volunteer.

As a volunteer I will:
- Treat everyone with respect, loyalty, patience, integrity, courtesy, dignity, and consideration.
- Avoid situations where I am alone with children and/or youth at parish activities.
- Report suspected abuse to the pastor or appropriate supervisor and the local Child Protection Services agency or other civil authorities.
- Sustain an environment of hospitality and charity towards the youth.
- Open yourself up to the spiritual fruit you will find in your life through the gift of working with the youth of our parish.
I understand that as a volunteer working with youth, I am subject to a thorough background check, including criminal history. I understand that any action inconsistent with this Code of Conduct or failure to take any action as outlined in this Code of Conduct may result in my being asked to no longer volunteer in my parish.
Diocesan Safe Environment
Everyone who works with young people and/or vulnerable adults shares the responsibility of creating safe environments. We are all charged with treating life with the respect and dignity given to each of us by our God.
All STAFF, CLERGY, RELIGIOUS & VOLUNTEERS WHO WORK DIRECTLY WITH CHILDREN must register and complete the diocesan safe environment training program every three years. Training can be found here: https://dol-in.org/online-safe-environment-training
