CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD
Margaret Platz is a prayer
leader for the Children’s Liturgy of the Word. She prays the
first portion of the Mass, explains the scriptures and leads a
discussion with children in kindergarten through the third
grade.
Recently, Margaret was featured in
the Michigan Catholic article Celebrating Catechists – All
Who Further Christ’s Ministry. “People are the Church,”
Margaret says. “And in today’s Catholic Church, we have fewer
clerical leaders and we as the Church congregation have to step
up and take a bigger role.”
We are blessed by so many
faith-filled individuals like Margaret who serve as catechists
for St. Clare’s children, youth and teens.

I Don't Want to Go to Church: Practical Ways to Deal
With Kids And Religion (Whether You're Religious or
Not!)
Is it really worth the effort to make children go to
church? Scott Cooper will convince those who ask
this question that, yes, participating in worship is
beneficial for children and worth the effort.
Cooper contends that even if parents are not
religious, they will se the benefits of being
connected to a faith community. Religious belief
is crucial for children to mature emotionally and
intellectually because it connects them to the grand
scheme of things. Cooper offers practical advice
including: how to deal with the child who won't sit
still; the adolescent who resists; when parents are
from different faith traditions, and the relationship
of science and faith. Reprinted
