Each Sunday during term time, an organised Children’s Liturgy will take place at the 11am Mass. The aim is to share the message of Christ with children in a way they can understand and enjoy. At the start of Mass, children are invited to go with the leaders to the Parish Hall, where they take part in prayers, hymns, and a child-friendly Gospel reading. They discuss its meaning through conversation and activities before returning to church for the Offertory.
We welcome new helpers—please contact Canon Michael or Deacon Con if interested.
Therefore, we need to remember that:

Therefore, we need to remember that:
- The leaders of the Children’s Liturgy truly are a Minister of the Word
- What the children celebrate is a real liturgy where they learn to listen to the Word and respond in prayer and silence. An adult must accompany small children.
- We bring the children out to help them deepen their appreciation of the Word of God, not to contain them or give the adults some time of peace. It is not a creche.
- Any activity that takes place is to be for the sole purpose of explaining the Gospel message.
