DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS - CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD IS SUSPENDED 


But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

- Matthew 19:14

While Greater Massena Catholic Community understands and promotes the role of families in teaching the faith to their children, we also strive to supplement that education in a variety of ways, furthering children's understanding of Christ's teachings.

As part of our Sunday Liturgy at Sacred Heart (9:30 AM) and St. Mary's (11 AM), Children's Liturgy of the Word is offered. 

Young Mass attendees are invited to participate in a Liturgy of the Word, which takes place during the scriptural readings and homily. In this special portion of the Mass, the scriptures are explained to our young parishioners and visitors in ways they can understand. The Children's Liturgy of the Word often includes crafts, coloring activities and/or song.
