Children are dismissed from the 8:45 am and 10:30 am Masses at right before the Liturgy of the Word, the scripture readings during Mass. CLOW ministers share the readings at the children's level of understanding and lead them through the Nicene Creed and prayers. The children then return to their parents in the church at the offertory. This is a great way for children in grades 1-4 to get a better understanding of the gospel message.
