During the school term, at the beginning of Sunday Mass, the children are invited to follow the leader of the children’s liturgy into the church hall. Adults are very welcome to accompany their children too. Children of all ages are very welcome to attend.The children participate in a special Liturgy of the Word, helping them to understand the readings from sacred scripture. They also prepare to share what they have learned with the congregation, and also prepare a song which they will sing.
Please encourage your children to attend. Donations of games, puzzles and jigsaws with biblical themes are also gratefully received.
