Children’s Liturgy
On Sundays we have our Children’s Liturgy Group which is held during the 10:30
Mass when the children (aged 2 – 8) are
escorted out of Mass to the Parish Room. Various activities are aimed to help
with the children’s understanding of the Gospel message and also to develop
feelings and attitudes for a fuller participation in the Mass. Parents are
welcome to accompany their children. The sessions are open to children who have
not made their first Holy Communion.
