BLESSED SACRAMENT YOUTH AND FAMILY
CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD
The Children's Liturgy of the Word is conducted during the 9:15 a.m. Mass. It is open to children between the ages of 4 and 7. The Gospel and/or other readings from the Mass are presented in words and activities that are understandable to young children. The Liturgy of the Word has the goal of familiarizing young children with the Bible and Catholic faith tradition.
​
My vision runs in line with the Lord's vision of teaching our youth the wonders of His word in a manner suited to engage their minds. Hopefully the children will reap the rewards of these teachings by applying them as they grow. All virtus certified adults are encouraged to volunteer to assist in this program.

Totus Tuus
Totus Tuus is a summer Catholic youth program unlike any other! Totus Tuus is dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through evangelization, discipleship, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. This week-long program is held at multiple parishes across the Diocese throughout the summer. Young adult missionaries guide the children and teens to an encounter with Christ by authentically living out the Catholic faith.
DAY PROGRAM (1ST-6TH GRADE)
Totus Tuus grade school program is designed for children going into first through sixth grade in the 2024-2025 school year. The Day Program runs Monday through Friday. The students are encouraged to be clear and consistent in their faith. They are shown how to view their Lord as a good Father. This personal relationship gives them the confidence to be Christ’s witnesses in the world around them. Finally, Totus Tuus endeavors to show the youth that a humble and courageous desire to know God must be based upon a steadfast and disciplined life of prayer combined with the reception of the sacraments.
EVENING PROGRAM (7TH-12TH GRADE)
Some parishes offer a Totus Tuus evening program. This consists of evening retreats for middle school and high school youth. These “evening retreats” meet Sunday through Thursday and focus on small group discussions, prayer, and fun activities that foster relationships with both peers and Christ.
