Children’s Liturgy
Children’s Liturgy – during term time only takes place weekly at the 9.45am Mass. This is for children from age 3 upwards to School Year 2. Please bring your children to the side sacristy (by Our Lady’s Chapel) before Mass starts to be collected by their catechists. Please be on time, as children will not be admitted once Mass starts. They will return in time for the Lord’s prayer.
This is an important mission within the life of our Parish. It enables our children to learn about the life of Our Lord contained in the New Testament. It also introduces them to the important ways in which we, as Catholics, are to live our lives by following the life and teachings of Jesus and the role which God plays in all our lives.
Being always conscious of Safeguarding, there are always two DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) accredited adults in the room with each group.
Children are encouraged to participate, enjoy and respond to the readings of the day.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer helper then please do contact the parish office.
Babies and Toddlers
Babies and small children are always welcome to stay within the Church to participate in Mass with their families. However, you are asked to take your child to the back of the Church behind the glass wall if they are overly disruptive. If you bring toys into the Church, please ensure they are not of the noisy variety and preferably soft not hard!
