When we meet:

During term time at the 9am Mass on Sunday.

Where do we meet?

After the Penitential Rite, the Priest will invite the children to process with the group leaders to the RDJ room where the Children’s Liturgy will take place. The children return to the Church during the offertory hymn.

Who is it for?

The Children’s Liturgy is for all children aged between 4 and 8yrs (until children commence their First Holy Communion).

Why a Children’s Liturgy?

The aim of the group is to provide the children with an adapted Liturgy of the Word during the 9am Mass on Sundays in a context which encourages them to listen, to pray and to respond to the word of God within a safe place.

How does it work?

The Children’s Liturgy Group is run by a group of parent volunteers. The Sunday Gospel is the focus with the children encouraged to listen to the word of God through prayer, silence and reflection. The children participate in discussion, followed by an activity arising from the Gospel.
