Welcoming children and families at Mass

Here is an interesting editorial from another website: Small children at Mass? We need more of them.

Epiphany tends to be a welcoming and supportive community, but we can all use a reminder from time to time.

Sometimes people say that children are the future of the Church. In a way this is true, but even more than that: children are the Church, right now. Every baptized person is fully a member of the Body of Christ--including babies and kids. They are called to participate in the Mass in their own way.
