Children's Liturgy of the Word
Children's Liturgy of the Word is for our children, ages 5-9, to meet together during Mass for their own time to reflect on our Sunday Mass readings. Catechists help to explain the Scripture stories using age-appropriate language and presentations. We hope that you will join us on Sunday at the 8:30 am or 11 am Masses during the school year.
Greeters & Ushers
Greeters and ushers welcome and assist Mass attendees. Ushers also take up the collection, help people move comfortably in procession to receive Holy Communion, and distribute bulletins after Mass. To volunteer, contact the Director of Liturgy, Molly Knerl by email at liturgy@sfxbirmingham.com or by phone at (205) 803-5417.
