Children’s Liturgy of the Word
Every Sunday—9:15 AM
Liturgy
| Any children present at the 9:15 mass are invited to participate in the Children’s Liturgy of the Word. Children are dismissed before the mass Readings are read to the assembly. They retreat to the Church Hall with a trained couple to discuss the same readings at their level of understanding. Parents are welcome to accompany their children any time. We especially invite visitors to participate |

About
Family Faith Formation
| Saint William Parish's Religious
Education program works together with families to provide faith
formation opportunities for children and adults. Catechesis is that
activity which enables faith to become living, conscious, and active
through the light of instruction -- especially sharing God’s Word in
Scripture and the tradition of the Catholic Church. Catechesis is a
life-long process for each individual as well as the work of the entire
Catholic Christian community. |
The Church teaches that the primary responsibility for the spiritual
growth and development of the children rests first and foremost with the
parents. Parents may share this responsibility with others, but they do
not relinquish it. |
Our program strives to work together, with you to become closer in
Christian community to live as Jesus taught us: through love,
faithfulness, scripture, faith-sharing and example. |
| The Family Faith Program at Saint William Parish
offers sessions during the school year for the entire family. Basic
classroom instruction begins at kindergarten through 5th grade, with child care offered to younger siblings. All families are
invited to participate, (two parents, single parents,
grandparents and interfaith families). Sacrament preparation instruction
is offered to children who are in at least in the 2nd grade
following one previous year of instruction. The basic instruction and
the sacramental instruction are separate classes and meet at different
times once a month with take home resources for the entire family to
continue the deepening of their faith at home within their household. |
