Designed for children 5 years of age and younger, the Children’s Mass is a hands-on, interactive service with lots of singing and physical movement. An animated picture Bible is used to teach the Christian story in a relatable and age appropriate manner. For Holy Communion, the children gather around a small table and assist the priest and participate in the prayers. This is an ideal service for families who would like to experience Christian community and attend Mass, but find it difficult to attend with younger children. The entire Mass is about 25 minutes long in duration.
