children's liturgy

On a Sunday at the 10.00am Mass we have a children's Liturgy of the Word. This is designed for children of primary school age so that they can hear the scripture reading for Mass in language which is accessible to them. Commencing Sunday 18th February 2024 every week unless otherwise notified, please check newsletter.  The leaders are Gary Linford, Christine Cadman and Joseph Hall.

The children leave the church after the opening prayer to go to the Sacristy and return in time for the offertory.

This is a special time for our children to learn about their Faith, the Gospel and to make new friends. Children take part in prayer, song, story time and activities. A time to encourage and grow in the love of Jesus; to enhance sacramental preparation and RE taught in primary school. Parents are welcome to accompany younger children.  All Liturgy Leaders are CRB checked.
