Ignatian Spirituality
Renewing our Ignatian roots: Fall and Advent series
This program, for children in K-4th grade, takes place during the Liturgy of the Word at the 9:30 a.m. Sunday Mass and lasts approximately 15–20 minutes. During Mass, children are invited forward and then gather in the Rose Room (located across from the Chapel). CLOW offers an interactive and engaging way for children to hear and understand the Gospel at their level.
All children are welcome, regardless of whether they are enrolled in Religious Education or the School.
The new year of CLOW begins August 23rd.
