Meetings
We offer young children, under-fives accompanied by an adult, and over fives with an adult if possible, an age-appropriate experience of the Liturgy of the Word during the Mass. Children leave after the Opening Prayer, and return to their parents at the beginning of the Offertory.

About
Children’s Liturgy
This important ministry is aimed at the younger members of our Parish (4-8 years) and is an important introduction to the stories of the Old and New Testament, the life of Jesus, the Mass, seasons of the Church year and Catholic values. Children’s Liturgy is not a Crèche for children while parents go to Mass, nor is it a Catechism class. It is an opportunity for children to hear and experience the gospel for the given Sunday Mass, in a format which is appropriate to their understanding.
Children’s Liturgy is run by a group of parents on a voluntary basis and was started in September 2014. From a humble group of 12 children we now sometimes have up to 40 on a Sunday morning. To manage this large group we need all parents whose children attend Children’s Liturgy to commit to assist us at least once a month. This can be either in the form of preparing and presenting the Children’s Liturgy, or to assist with crowd control (Fathers are particularly good at this!) In addition if your child is 5 years old or younger they MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times.
