Christian Formation Children’s Liturgy of the Word will take place during the 9:30 Mass every Sunday. The children will pick up nametags prior to the Mass, sit with their parents during the opening song and then be dismissed with the lead catechists and helpers before the reading begin. The children in grades kindergarten through 2nd are invited to go to the classroom and hear the readings from Mass and discuss them with the catechists. During the offertory, the children will return to their families. If you are interested in this program, please e-mail margie@stjeromennva.org or call the office. If you would like to see this program offered at the 11:30 Mass and are willing to help, please email Margie. Come to CORE!
