Liturgy of the Word for Children is celebrated during the 9:30a.m. & 11:30a.m. Masses on Sundays throughout the year. It introduces God's Holy Word to children ages Preschool - grade 6 and explores its meaning in their lives and at their level of faith development. It is especially important to the Religious Education Program, since the focus of the program is Lectionary-Based Catechesis.

The textual materials the children use in classes, published by Pflaum Gospel Weeklies, focus on the Gospel of the upcoming Sunday Liturgy and offer creative ways of teaching the theme in class.  The children are actually prepared for the upcoming Sunday Liturgy in Religious Education Classes by hearing the Gospel Reading and doing activites to support the theme. Then it can become a lived reality for the little ones that will become part of their daily lives. Faith truly becomes a lived experience with connections made to daily life. 

Anyone interested in becoming invovled in this ministry to children, is asked to please contact Eileen Dignazio, DRE:  860-676-0253; Eileen@stpatsfarm.org.
