SAINTS SIMON & JUDE KIDS – Faith Formation Program
“Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule. The home is well suited for education in the virtues.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church # 2223
CLOW/ Tot Liturgy – Early Childhood/ Elementary Faith Formation (2 YEARS OLD – 5TH GRADE)
CLOW stands for Children’s Liturgy of the Word. Every other Sunday at the 9:30 a.m. mass children (1st grade to 5th grade) are called forward before the Scripture readings. They will be sent to the Franciscan Room for a Gospel Lesson. Children will return back to their families after the Creed, as the Offertory and Liturgy of the Eucharist begin. Tot Liturgy happens simultaneously as CLOW but for children ages (2-5 years old).
