The celebration of the Liturgy of the Word with children is a liturgical experience that opens young people to hear and respond to God’s Word in ways that enable them to be nurtured and challenged by its power, and to experience the grace of ongoing conversion to the vision and values of the Word of God.
Children's Liturgy of the Word 2025–2026 enables prayer leaders to confidently lead children through the Liturgy of the Word.
Each liturgy guide offers:
The liturgy guides will enable prayer leaders to facilitate the Liturgy of the Word with children in a prayerful way, allowing each child to deepen and explore his or her relationship with God.
"Our parish, St. Francis of Assisi, loves Children’s Liturgy of the Word! It provides our prayer leaders what they need to encourage children to participate in liturgy rather than do coloring activities or crafts. As I tell our parents, Liturgy of the Word with children gives our youngsters a chance to listen to God’s Word in an age-appropriate way, and to invite them to vocalize their own prayers."
—Karen Mroz, Pastoral Associate St. Francis of Assisi Parish Marshalltown, IA
"I love this weekly resource guide! It provides our leaders a quick background on the readings so they are prepared to lead prayer with the kids. I love that it includes suggestions for what they can talk about in a reflection, which is helpful for those who want extra guidance and are unsure of what to say. I also like that it gives them the Prayer of the Faithful each Sunday, so it's not necessary to prepare one. Overall, this resource guide makes it quick and easy for leaders to prepare to lead a high-quality children's Liturgy of the Word."
—Kirsten Osborne, Director of Children & Youth Formation Christ the King Church Nashville, TN
"Our parish implemented children’s Liturgy of the Word in the mid-1990s. From the start, we have stressed to our ministry team members that the children who attend should experience a faithfully executed liturgy and be able to enter a prayerful hearing and reflection on the Scriptures that is age-appropriate and meaningful for their young lives. For many years now we have used LTP’s Children’s Liturgy of the Word. It is an excellent weekly resource—from its seasonal backgrounds to the weekly Sunday Scripture backgrounds and liturgy guides. It supports our leaders with liturgical and catechetical information and offers suggestions for turning each CLW session into a spiritual encounter for the children."
—René Ayala, Director of Worship: Music & Liturgy St. Lawrence Martyr Catholic Church Redondo Beach, CA
"We have used Children’s Liturgy of the Word for several years, and we highly recommend it. The book is an extremely helpful guide as we plan each week’s gathering. It provides age-appropriate suggestions for worship and reflection. We appreciate that the emphasis is on the children, which helps them be active and engaged participants and contributes to their growth in faith."
—Char Milligan, Parish Office Secretary St. Bridget of Kildare Parish Parma, OH
