Children's Liturgy
of the Word

Epiphany offers CLW to children ages 5 through 5th grade October to May during the Sunday Morning Masses. The children are dismissed from Mass and go to Room 122 where they hear the weekend readings and participate in the responses from a children's lectionary. The leader shares a short homily with the children, and we conclude with a related activity. Children return to the church after the Prayers of the Faithful. Adult leaders and adult and youth helpers are needed. The commitment is just one Mass per month.

OCIC – for Children ages 7 and older

The Order of Christian Initiation of Children (OCIC) is a welcoming journey for unbaptized children, or those baptized in another Christian tradition, to explore the Catholic faith. Guided by the Holy Spirit, participants learn about the mystery of Christ and discern their spiritual path. This process prepares them to enter into full communion with the Church through the Sacraments of Initiation.
