Pray and Play (3-5yo)
Pray and Play is designed for preschoolers and kindergartners, ages 3-5. Children may be dropped off in the Aftercare Room, on the lower level of the Church, just prior to the 10:30AM Mass. Here they will engage in fun activities and hear the Gospel at their level of understanding. They should be picked up immediately following Mass. No registration is required. Come see what we're all about!
Children's Liturgy of the Word (6-9yo)
Children's Liturgy of the Word, also called CLOW, is designed for six- to nine-year-olds to be able to encounter Jesus through the Word of God. The Sunday Mass readings of the day are read and a team of teachers lead music, activities and discussions that guide children in receiving and understanding the Word of God. CLOW happens during the 10:30AM Mass - children will be invited forward to participate just after the opening blessing and will be escorted by a teacher back to the Church after the Homily. No registration is necessary, simply come forward when the children are invited during Mass.
Volunteer for Children's Ministries
We are always looking for dedicated adults and youth volunteers to help make Pray & Play and CLOW a great experience for the children of St. Bart's. You will be placed on a team that is responsible for a session once a month. Please contact Pastoral Associate Steven Serafin (information below) if you would like to volunteer.
