Religious Education at Saint Ambrose Parish
Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW)
Welcoming children in grades K-3!
During the 4:30 pm Saturday, 9:00 am and 10:30 am Sunday Masses
We all know young children can have trouble sitting still during Mass. At CLOW, they can listen and ask questions while we discuss the readings and Gospel. It’s amazing to see them engage!
The priest will invite them to come forward after the Opening Prayer, receive a blessing and head to the Chapel with our catechist.
They’ll return right after the homily…giving you a chance to really listen, too. Children receive a take-home activity sheet which enhances the weekly lesson from the gospel.
No need to sign up in advance! Just bring your children to Mass, get them excited about CLOW, and encourage them to join when they’re called up by the priest.

CLOW Interest Form
“Mom! Do I get to go CLOW every time at Church?! I liked it a lot.” – Skylar, 6 years old
“We loved taking the boys to brunch after Mass because that was our time to go over the worksheet they had been given during CLOW and a great opportunity for us all to discuss the Scripture readings together as a family outside of Church.” – Kaaikaula Wichmann Family.
“I wanted to reach out to both of you and say a big THANK YOU for continuing the CLOW lessons for our kiddos! This is a huge support for our little ones who aren’t too sure what is going on, but understanding that things are different. Kim Nemet and I grew up together, so after 10:30 mass today, I texted her personally thanking her for continuing to be there to worship with our younger kiddos. Thank you so much for all you are doing! As we are seeing everywhere, we are all in this together! Thank you for being that constant for all of us!” – Jill and Ben Kendrick
Interested in leading CLOW?
We could use a few more CLOW catechists and aides!
It’s a wonderful time guiding our children through the readings. It’s simple and easy, right during Mass, and only once or twice a month. The readings and lessons are provided for you! You just read and often just follow the children’s lead. Afterwards, you’ll feel a sense of joy getting to experience God’s Word through our young friends hearts and minds.
Please email Kathy Saffron at kathysaffron@ymail.com or Brandan Bizzi at BBizzi@stambrose.us or 330.460.7325 if you are interested in giving it a try!
