What is Children's Liturgy?

Liturgy of the Word for Children is a program in which the Sunday scripture readings are proclaimed and explained on a level appropriate to children attending Kindergarten through Third grade.  Our Children's Liturgy takes place at  10:30 am Mass on Sunday Mornings at St. Martha.
 
This programs begins in September and ends in May.  Any child in this age group may participate.   Registration is necessary and a form will be given to the children at their first class and it must be returned in order to attend Children's Liturgy.  All Children's Liturgy Catechist have safe environment training and background checks as required by the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
 

Children's Liturgy Program

Before Sunday morning Mass an announcement is made to meet our Children's Liturgy Catechist in the back of the church to be escorted to our Children's Liturgy Room.   After a welcome and prayer, the children are read the Sunday Gospel and given an activity worksheet to help them understand.  Following a closing prayer, our usher will let the catechist know when it's time to return to Mass.  The children will return to Mass and participate in the Presentation of the Gifts before returning to their seat with their parents.
 
We are in need of catechists for this program. Please contact the office for information!

Please contact Mrs. Louise Frederick (504.366.1604) for any questions.
