Children's Mass
On the first 1st Sunday of each month at 10:30am Mass, children are invited to sit on the steps of the altar while the priest directs his homily towards them.
Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLOW)
On the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Sundays of each month at 10:30am Mass, children are invited to gather before Mass and go to the Madonna Room for child-specific versions of the readings and homily; children return to the church right after the priest's homily has ended. If you are an adult who would be willing to lead some of the CLOW days, please call the Faith Formation Office at 410-879-0959. No teaching experience necessary!
With nearly 500 students and many volunteer teachers and aides, St. Ignatius' Faith Formation program is an active and vital part of our parish life. Through the Office of Faith Formation, St. Ignatius provides catechesis to the children and youth of our Parish whose regular school curriculum does not include instruction in the Roman Catholic Tradition.
Faith Formation at St. Ignatius implements the six fundamental tasks of catechesis: Promoting knowledge of the faith, liturgical education and the sacraments, moral formation, teaching to pray, the life of the community, and evangelization - the building and mission of the Church. The program provides extensive resources for both parents and catechists.
