Every Sunday at 10 o'clock and 12 noon Masses, the children in grades K thru 4th are called up to the altar by the Priest, before the Liturgy of the Word, and they are taken to the auditorium (the old church) for the Liturgy readings, the Gospel and an explanation of both.

There are at least two ministers at each session and we also have middle schoolers

who help where needed. After the Homily in church, the children are given pamphlets on that day's reading and then they are escorted back to the church.

Our ministry has books for each minister that explains the days reading on a level the children can understand. A schedule is printed every 4 to 6 months and the ministers serve about every 4 to 6 weeks. You have a choice of what Mass you would like to do. There is a 30 minute training session, a dress code, and you must be fingerprinted and have a background check  which is required by the Diocese at no cost to you.
