Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW)
children's hands
We invite your children (K-6th grades) to participate in our CLOW program at 9:30AM Mass. This program is offered year-round except during summer. No registration is required, and it's free.

Children are dismissed just after the opening prayers and go with an adult presider to the Parish Center Chapel to hear the Word proclaimed and explained in more age-appropriate language. During CLOW our children's choir sings. The children return during the Preparation of the Gifts.

Parents are welcome to accompany their children to the Parish Center Chapel during the Liturgy of the Word and then return with them for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

Our Children Need You!
Drawing of St. Francis church building exteriorWe invite you to share our Catholic faith and teach children about God’s love for us. We need catechists to help from 11:00-11:55am on Sunday mornings. If you are a teacher or former teacher, great! If not, we have good teacher manuals and will offer training in August and September, to help prepare you for this opportunity! We especially need persons who can
volunteer during the 9:30am Mass to work with the PreK and Nursery programs. Our goal is to recruit enough volunteers so that responsibilities can be shared. Nursery involves babysitting and NOT teaching. The PreK program is a little more structured, with a curriculum to work from.
